Invité a` concourir en 1974, l’architecte proposait de renouer avec les formes historiques de l’urbanisme parisien. Au coeur d’une rivalité politique, il fut écarte´ en octobre 1978, apre`s plus de trois ans de projets, par Jacques Chirac, premier maire élu de Paris, qui se déclara alors « l’architecte en chef des Halles ». Bofill et le Taller de Arquitectura joueront ne´anmoins un ro^le de premier plan dans l’e´laboration des villes nouvelles en France, de 1972 a` 1985, avec des projets aussi marquants que controversés : Abraxas a` Marne-la-Valle´e, le Lac a` Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, ou encore le quartier Antigone au centre de Montpellier. Véritable journal de bord, largement illustre´, cet ouvrage de´crit les relations e´troites entre l’architecture et la politique sous les présidences de Vale´ry Giscard d’Estaing et de Franc¸ois Mitterrand, et constitue un dossier inédit sur les Halles, un chantier emble´matique, couvert par une clause de confidentialite´ jusqu’au de´ce`s de l’architecte, en 2022.

« Agence-époque », Architecture Studio a grandi avec son temps, depuis sa fondation en 1973, en exprimant toujours les grands moments des périodes qu’elle a traversées, qu’ils soient empreints d’espoir ou signes de préoccupation. Les années soixante-dix, l’effervescence du militantisme, le mouvement Mars 76 et la création du syndicat de l’architecture, le contre-concours des Halles, l’élaboration de logements sociaux avec la participation des habitants… Viennent ensuite les années Mitterrand, l’Institut du monde arabe et les grands projets issus de la décentralisation. Dix ans plus tard, le Parlement européen de Strasbourg annonce une mondialisation qui passera d’abord par la Chine et l’Asie avant d’atteindre le continent africain. L’ouverture d’une maison commune à Venise en 2010 ainsi que le scénario et le plan d’une ville verte pour le nouveau centre de Kaboul en Afghanistan marquent le point culminant de cette époque.

Among these projects are several that show the potentials of reuse and transformation, such as "High Profile," a lamp made from leftover metal profiles, or "Seoullo 7017", the transformation of an elevated highway in Seoul into an urban park. Many of the projects also have a distinct public dimension, welcoming people in, around, and sometimes also on top of buildings, as in the case of the depot of Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, or the Idea Factory in Shenzhen.

Summary:
SO–IL is an architecture firm born in New York in 2008. Diverse in origin, their team of collaborators speaks a dozen languages and is informed by global narratives and perspectives. Both locally-rooted and nationless, they explore how the creation of environments and objects inspires lasting positive intellectual and societal engagement. Amant is an arts campus spread across three blocks in rapidly changing, industrial North Brooklyn. This cultural incubator functions both privately, and publicly, with artist studios, galleries, offices, storage, and a cafe. Rather than an inward-looking space isolated from its urban context, the collection of distributed volumes weaves itself into the fabric of the city. The mini-campus is a part of, benefits from, and contributes to the local community. Pockets of outdoor spaces, multiple entries, and openings cohabit the ground with other members of the neighbourhood.
