Summary:
The Power of Process sets out the importance of Michael Pearson and his work, from his initial work within the family firm, his teaching and presidency of the Architectural Association, to small-scale artists’ studios and large-scale hospital planning, to the first thorough appreciation of Burne House, his most important work. The title refers to Michael Pearson’s abiding concern for ‘process’ in modern architecture — that is, how the conception and making of architecture is driven by information systems, the inter-connectedness between a buildings use, how it is manufactured and, importantly how its use can adapt and change over time. As such, his interest in process puts him at the forefront of the British High-Tech architecture, more famously associated with Richard Rogers and Norman Foster.

Summary:
L’Institut de la Vision, ouvert en mars 2008 à côté de l’hôpital des Quinze-Vingts, a été réalisé par l’agence Brunet Saunier, il est l’un des plus grands centres de recherche en Europe consacré aux maladies oculaires. L’origine de sa création fut le constat qu’aucune structure en France ne permettait de répondre efficacement aux besoins des patients, médecins et scientifiques : les différents spécialistes de la vision étaient jusqu’alors dispersés sur le territoire, empêchant l’interaction indispensable à un partage rapide des connaissances. L’ouvrage présentera ce nouveau complexe scientifique constitué d’un centre de recherche, d’un centre d’investigation clinique, d’un centre de référence pour les maladies rares ainsi que le rapport qui unit architecture - science.
