Abstract

With professional careers of ore than twenty years behind them, French architects Anne Lacaton and Jean Philippe Vassal continue to pursue their own coherent, personal approach to architecture. Theirs is a position far removed from formal originality, focusing instead on an ethical conception that upholds the idea of an architect s social responsibility: they have constructed an allusively simple discourse that embraces the complexity of contemporary reality. The few carefully chosen issues that interest them are tantamount to a wish to go beyond paradigms established by the market. This issue of 2G presents a number of their most famous projects, including the Bois-le-Pretre tower block in Paris, a built example of their investigation into how to act on obsolete blocks of flats from the 1960s and 70s in France; two multi-family housing projects in Saint-Nazaire; and the School of Architecture in Nantes. It also presents projects on a city scale, such as an urban plan for Dublin, their proposal for the Porte de la Chapelle, and the La Vecquerie eco-area in Saint-Nazaire.

Abstract

The winners of the 2021 Pritzker Prize present their architectural ethos through nine examples : The French firm Lacaton & Vassal, established in Paris in 1987 by Anne Lacaton (born 1955) and Jean-Philippe Vassal (born 1954), has designed private and social housing, cultural and academic institutions and public spaces that reflects its advocacy of social justice and sustainability.Here, the winners of the 2021 Pritzker Prize present their oeuvre of four decades through three guiding concepts. Free Space signifies their concern to achieve a generosity of scale; Transformation expresses their adage “never demolish, always add, transform, extend”; and Habiter describes their insistence on making space one’s own.Accordingly, this volume presents nine built works by the architects, showing the life and inhabitants of each building so as to convey its animation and adaptation as a tenanted structure.
