Si Jean Balladur (1924-2002) est célèbre pour sa réalisation controversée de la station balnéaire de La Grande-Motte, il est aussi l'architecte d'une cinquantaine d'ouvrages en France et dans le monde qui dessinent, pendant près de trente ans, une oeuvre considérable fondée sur une approche réfléchie et engagée. Elève de Jean-Paul Sartre dont il suit les cours de philosophie, et diplômé de l'ENSBA, il pratique d'abord une écriture minimaliste inspirée par l'oeuvre de Mies van der Rohe. Refusant tout dogmatisme, il s'invente ensuite une écriture personnelle vers un "urbanisme organique" toujours plus affirmé, signant une contribution précoce et majeure à la postmodernité. Il laisse également une oeuvre écrite originale sur l'architecture, l'urbanisme et le paysage. Autant de clefs de lecture indispensables pour comprendre le travail de Jean Balladur, dont cet ouvrage met en lumière la singularité.

The HEC Paris (École des hautes études commerciales) is one of the leading European training associations, with a student body from around the world: 42% of its students come from Asia and Oceania, 9% from Africa and the Middle East, 23% from North and South America and 26% from Europe. The new building, inaugurated in 2012, as well as the redesign of the entire HEC Campus by architects David Chipperfield and Martin Duplantier reflect this internationality and meet the resulting needs for communication and exchange. The design by Chipperfield and Duplantier makes reference to the persuasive building erected in 1964 Buildings by René Coulon, which have undergone a careful renovation. The surrounding park is also a central element of the campus, which enriches social and collective living together at the university. This treeonography presents the HEC campus in detail. Essays trace the history of the university since 1881, sketching the emergence of the campus, exploring the logic and interplay of conservation and renovation, and showing how the HEC campus can serve as a model for a specific type of planning and building. An interview with Martin Duplantier and a photo essay by the award-winning Parisian photographer Cyrille Weiner complete the book.
