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

Japanese architect Go Hasegawa engages some of todays most relevant European architects in a series of conversations that touch upon the current and topical issues at play in architecture on the continent and globally. From asking Peter Märkli about the sense of history in his works, or illuminating the methods of economy used by Lacaton & Vassal, to discussing multiplicity in architecture with Álvaro Siza, the book brims with insightful questions and answers from the fields leading practitioners. Featuring interviews with Álvaro Siza, Valerio Olgiati, Peter Märkli, Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal, Pascal Flammer, and Kersten Geers and David Van Severen.
