Abstract

Dans ce manifeste, les deux architectes revisitent leurs réalisations et énoncent les principes essentiels qui régissent leur pratique architecturale "Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal are known for an architecture that privileges inhabitants' freedom and pleasure through generous, open designs. The Paris-based architects opened their 2015 lecture at Harvard University with a manifesto: study and create an inventory of the existing situation; densify without compressing individual space; promote user mobility, access, choice; and most importantly, never demolish. Freedom of Use reflects on these core values to present a fluid narrative of Lacaton and Vassal's oeuvre, articulated through processes of accumulation, addition, and extension. The architects describe built and unbuilt work, from a house in Niger made of little more than branches; to the expansive Nantes School of Architecture; to a public square in Bordeaux where, after months of study, their design solution was: do nothing."

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

"For more than 20 years the French duo Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal have pursued a unique approach to housing that integrates outdoor areas modelled on the winter garden. Their projects are open to the climate, transparent, and permeable, designed to work with rather than against climate. This book is the first scientific study of the thermal performance of winter gardens in residential constructions, showing their potential and effectiveness via selected projects of Lacaton&Vassal: from their first house, Latapie, to a recently completed apartment and office tower in Geneva."

Abstract

Manifeste des architectes lauréats du Pritzker price prononcé à l'École de Chaillot le 7 mars 2022.L'immense leçon - au sens propre du terme - que nous donnent ces deux architectes tient en deux clés : le profond et exigeant respect des lieux et des personnes auprès desquels ils sont appelés et l'engagement obstiné et éthique à concevoir une architecture au service du bien-être. Un patrimoine sauvé, qui admet la transformation comme symptôme de vie et se trouve promis à un usage renouvelé au sein de la cité : quel plus beau programme pour un futur Architecte du Patrimoine ?
