Fragmentary indicators of thinking such as these, which transcend specific projects, can be seen as an index of the firm’s values. The architects refer to them as “tags”, and have organised this book around them, offering an in-depth look at the 50 projects through converting materials, applying what is there, deviating from convention, new/old hybrids, making spaces equivalent, and repeating units.

Summary:
Designer and architect Keiji Ashizawa is deeply influenced by the principles of 20th-century modernism, carrying on its spirit through user-friendly design in the everyday lives of people. Whether it be furniture or architectural design, his rational disassembling of objects into smaller elements reflects shared mutual spatial and structural concepts, despite differences in proportion and dimensions. Ashizawa combines the Arts and Crafts movement and the design-manufacture process of mass production in his quest for honest design, viewed through a 21st-century, neo-modernist lens. This book presents his prolific vision, from furniture and objects to interiors and homes.

Élève 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.
