DUPLANTIER Martin (architect) The HEC Paris campus watercolor drawing 29,7x42cm 2020 Original signed HEC Campus Paris Watercolour drawing 29,7x42cm 2020 Of French and Belgian nationality, Martin Duplantier is a graduate of HEC (2003) and the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Malaquais (2007) and has completed a Master's degree from the Bordeaux Urban Planning Institute (2012).
