Pierre Rambach was born in Paris in 1925. He graduated from the Paris Fine Arts School (DPLG) Department of Architecture. He furthered his studies in Switzerland, India and Japan where he followed Masuda Tomoya’s school of architecture at Kyôto University.

In 1968 he moved to Switzerland where, for many years, he was architect at the Swissair Company. In Switzerland Rambach created numerous Japanese-style gardens including the garden of the Oriental Arts Museum in Geneva in 2004.

Pierre Rambach has authored and translated numerous books on Japanese traditional arts with a special focus on architecture and gardens.

In 1973, he published the French translation of the Sakutei-ki, the oldest Japanese book on gardening written on 1070. The Secret Book on Japanese Gardens (Le Livre Secret des Jardins Japonais) was the first book illustrating the principles of Japanese gardening and stone composition in relation to other traditional arts such as ceramics, calligraphy, painting, etc.

Pierre and Susanne Rambach are authors of "Garden of Longevity in China and Japan", published in 1987 by Skira- Rizzoli, New-York. In 2005 they also published an interactive CDRom about the role of stones in Japanese Gardens. Website: www.around-sakuteiki.net.

In 2005, Pierre Rambach started work on the Yerevan Lovers’ Park Landscaping and Design Project. Since then, he has visited Armenia numerous times to explore Armenian landscapes and find the best solutions to enable the combination of rigorous Japanese landscaping principles with the spirit of Armenia to create the first and as yet the only Japanese garden in Armenia.
