Gilles Saucier graduated from the School of Architecture at Université Laval in 1982. Shortly after, he founded the Montreal-based multidisciplinary architecture firm Saucier+Perrotte Architectes, internationally recognized for its institutional, cultural, and residential projects. As the principal design partner, he is responsible for maintaining the conceptual integrity of all projects, with particular attention to the relationship between architecture, geology, and landscape.
Since 1989, Mr. Saucier has served as a professor and guest critic at several Canadian and American universities and has delivered numerous lectures across North American academic institutions.
In 2004, his firm represented Canada at the prestigious Venice Architecture Biennale. In 2014, Gilles Saucier and his partner André Perrotte were the inaugural recipients of the newly established Quebec Prize in Design and Architecture, the Ernest-Cormier Prize. In 2018, they were awarded the Gold Medal from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada.
Since 2002, the Canadian Centre for Architecture has been archiving a large selection of drawings and models produced by the firm.
