Pendant près d’une vingtaine d’années, les projets se multiplient dans l’agglomération lyonnaise avant que le choix de la localisation de la nouvelle École d’architecture ne se porte sur Vaulx-en-Velin, dans le cadre d’un rapprochement avec l’École nationale des travaux publics de l’État, construite en 1976, matérialisant sa longue complicité avec les grandes écoles publiques d’ingénieurs et qui marque le début d’une structuration des campus de ce qui deviendra l’Université de Lyon.

Summary:
Made from prefabricated concrete panels, Plattenbauten rose from the ruins of Berlin, providing a quick and inexpensive solution to the severe housing shortage faced by the city after World War II. Although criticized in their day for their sterility and impersonal scale, they nonetheless became an integral part of the city. Drawn from his extensive investigations into Berlin’s urban landscape, Jesse Simon’s texts and photographs offer a convincing argument for the aesthetic and social value of buildings that were once described as “eyesores.”

S’interroger sur la construction dans l’architecture suisse, c’est s’intéresser aux liens indissociables entre les questions constructives et leurs implications spatiales, esthétiques et culturelles. C’est plus largement considérer la pensée des architectes, la manière dont ils conçoivent – dans tous les sens du terme – leurs édifices. C’est donc d’une part chercher à(...)

Summary:
S’interroger sur la construction dans l’architecture suisse, c’est s’intéresser aux liens indissociables entre les questions constructives et leurs implications spatiales, esthétiques et culturelles. C’est plus largement considérer la pensée des architectes, la manière dont ils conçoivent – dans tous les sens du terme – leurs édifices. C’est donc d’une part chercher à comprendre leur démarche de travail et les outils et théories qu’ils mobilisent au cours du processus de projection, mais c’est aussi, d’autre part, essayer de saisir, pour chacun d’eux, le sens qu’ils donnent au bâtir, la vision qu’ils ont de leur métier et de leur rôle dans la société.

Les Editions Fourre-Tout ont remporté, en association avec le collectif AJAP14 et OBRAS, la réalisation du catalogue du Pavillon Français de la 15e Biennale d’Architecture de Venise 2016. Il s’agit d’abord et avant tout de la formalisation éditoriale d’un propos plus large que le projet scénographique – à savoir, un état des lieux de la France péri-urbaine, et de la transformation de son quotidien. Cet état des lieux se manifeste surtout par une campagne de recension de projets d’architecture auprès d’acteurs locaux, et notamment des Ecoles nationales d’Architecture, qui permettent au livre d’approcher de cette masse critique: au total, près de 150 projets sont documentés dans le livre, qui déploie par ailleurs un discours crtique lié aux thématiques générales de l’exposition.
