Un compte rendu franc et sans concession de ce qu'est vraiment le travail de l'architecte ; l'auteur s'appuie sur ses propres expériences tragi-comiques dans le domaine pour révéler le monde de l'architecture contemporaine. Il nous transporte de la banlieue de New York aux décombres du nord de l'Irak, des quartiers riches de Londres, Moscou et Dubaï aux friches éparpillées qui représentent les espoirs démolis des logements sociaux d'après-guerre. Nous rencontrons des oligarques déterminés à traduire leurs ambitions en béton et en acier, des promoteurs pour qui l'architecture est un simple investissement, et des couches de politiciens, de bureaucrates, de consultants, et d'entremetteurs mystérieux qui s'interposent entre toute idée architecturale et la chance de son exécution. Il remet en question l'orgueil de ceux qui croient être la solution aux problèmes écrasants des mégapoles en plein essor. L'histoire d'une profession secouée par des forces externes qui déterminent - au moins autant que l'inspiration individuelle - quels architectes conçoivent aujourd'hui. Architecture, we like to believe, is an elevated art form that shapes the world as it pleases. Four Walls and a Roof challenges this notion, presenting a candid account of what it is really like to work as an architect, buffeted by external forces that make a mockery of any pretense to visionary authority. Reinier de Graaf draws on his own tragicomic experiences in the field to reveal the world of contemporary architecture in vivid snapshots. He takes us from suburban New York to the rubble of northern Iraq, from the corridors of wealth in London, Moscow, and Dubai to garbage-strewn wastelands that represent the demolished hopes of postwar social housing. We meet oligarchs determined to translate ambitions into concrete and steel, developers for whom architecture is mere investment, and the layers of politicians, bureaucrats, consultants, and mysterious hangers-on who lie between any architectural idea and the chance of its execution. He introduces us to histories of modern architecture that determine--at least as much as individual inspiration--what architects design. And he questions the hubris of those who believe they are the solution to the overwhelming problems of booming megacities. Perhaps the most important myth de Graaf debunks is success itself. To achieve anything, architects must serve the powers they strive to critique, finding themselves in a perpetual conflict of interest. Together, he shows, architects, developers, politicians, and consultants form an improvised world of conflict and compromise that none alone can control.
