Summary:
Taking the form of an eighteenth century plate-book, this witty artist's book proposes 83 new designs for door frames. Printed in sepia, the sometimes impractical, outrageous or tasteful designs cover many epochs and motifs--from Gothic to Postmodern, Chinoise to Turkish--but always from the same perspective.

Summary:
Si le mouvement postmoderne en architecture a désormais « fait son temps », ici délimité par les années 1973 et 1993, il semble que les questions qui l’avaient vu naître (crise des ressources et de l’énergie, partage de références et de valeurs – sociales notamment –, rejet du modernisme froid et rationnel, rapport contrarié à l’histoire…) demeurent d’une brûlante(...)

Summary:
Si le mouvement postmoderne en architecture a désormais « fait son temps », ici délimité par les années 1973 et 1993, il semble que les questions qui l’avaient vu naître (crise des ressources et de l’énergie, partage de références et de valeurs – sociales notamment –, rejet du modernisme froid et rationnel, rapport contrarié à l’histoire…) demeurent d’une brûlante actualité. Le guide « Paris postmoderne – Architectures 1973-1993 » propose au promeneur, simple curieux ou professionnel, de revenir sur ces oeuvres parisiennes et métropolitaines, recouvertes par le passage d’un demi-siècle. Bientôt patrimoine mais encore puériles, singulières, parfois insolites et souvent fragiles, certaines ont durablement imprimé nos rétines et nos imaginaires, tandis que d’autres ont préféré se réfugier dans un silence inquiet. Cet ouvrage sonne l’heure du réveil en proposant un premier inventaire de près de 600 bâtiments illustrés.
