Eric de Broche des Combes is an architect, graphic designer and musician.

He was born in 1971 in Marseille and grew up in Le Corbusier’s Cité Radieuse. He studied architecture at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Marseille, graduating in 1997, before completing a postgraduate research programme at GAMSAU (Groupe de Recherche pour l’Application des Méthodes Scientifiques à l’Architecture et à l’Urbanisme).

He moved to Paris in 1999 and has worked there ever since. He founded his first visualisation studio, Auralab, followed a few years later by Luxigon, which spent two decades producing images and films for architecture.

He now works independently across architectural imagery, concept design, architecture, and music, composing scores for films, games, and documentaries. He recently co-founded the music label Goosuto.

He is a professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, where he teaches courses focused on simulation, digital environments, and world-building.

He likes punk rock, loves the weird and the uncanny, and will eventually die someday.
