with Étienne tricaud , he laid the theoretical groundwork for the creation of new , large stations in a contemporary style , which he saw from the points of view of both urban planning and architecture : opening up the city , intermodal transport , traffic management , accessibility and commercial development .
in 1997 , he won the competition for the new high speed train station in seoul , korea .
he and tricaud created the multidisciplinary arep agency -lrb- , `` management , research , interchange '' -rrb- as a wholly owned subsidiary of sncf .
arep has since been involved in the development of many stations and other urban developments both in france and elsewhere .
duthilleul was a consultant on the grand paris project , working with jean nouvel and michel cantal-dupart .
