Summary:
Objet de rêve, la villa balnéaire formalise une invitation au voyage où, depuis la fin du XVIIIe, architectes et entrepreneurs rivalisent d'invention et multiplient les solutions d'articulation entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur où se déroule une grande part de la vie estivale. Entre 1945 et 1980, la villégiature devient tourisme de masse et les maîtres d'oeuvre doivent s'adapter à ce changement d'échelle. Le marché de la maison individuelle et celui de la maison balnéaire dont elle n'est qu'un aspect en sont bouleversés. La créativité foisonnante qui prévaut encore dans le contexte de la Reconstruction s'essouffle devant les réalités économiques et sociologiques d'une aspiration légitime du plus grand nombre à jouir d'une petite place au soleil en bord de mer. S'appuyant sur le corpus des 12000 maisons individuelles construites entre 1945 et 1980 sur le littoral de Charente-Maritime, à Saint-Georges-de-Didonne, Royan, Ronce-les-Bains, Fouras, Châtelaillon-Plage, La Rochelle, mais aussi dans les iles d'Aix, d'Oléron ou de Ré, l'ouvrage propose, pour la première fois à l'échelle d'un département, un panorama complet de la production des maisons du littoral, des villas modernes les plus inventives à la production de maisons ordinaires qui dessinent le paysage côtier contemporain. L'ouvrage questionne les façons d'être modernes et la place qu'y occupent les architectes et les entrepreneurs concepteurs, la notion de régionalisme au moment de son abandon et de sa renaissance à l'aube des années 1980 sous la forme d'un post-modernisme vernaculaire inventif.

Summary:
Southeast Asia and Oceania are global epicenters of economic growth, and Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines in particular have each enjoyed building booms that include modern houses designed by some of the world's most talented architects. And though these countries feature rich variations in culture, language, and in some cases climate, their contemporary residential architectures share many similar characteristics. Sometimes these are crisp residential designs rendered in the most modern forms, while in other cases architects draw on local cultural or vernacular building materials, such as stone or wood, to create houses that, while still undeniably modern, are very much of their place. But the most ambitious and innovative of these projects all maintain a strong design sensibility that transcends geographic borders. "Pacific modern" is an illustrated tour of the most exciting examples of residential architecture in these regions. Among the architects whose work is presented are Glenn Murcutt, Sean Godsell, Burley Katon Halliday, Engelen Moore, Kerry Hill, and Fearon Hay.
