Summary:
English architect, historian, critic and educator Kenneth Frampton received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at the Venice Biennale 2018. There is no architecture student that is not familiar with the book Modern Architecture: A Critical History (1980) of this renowned historian, nor with his essay ‘Towards a Critical Regionalism, Six Points of an Architecture of Resistance’ (1983). In this last text, Frampton searched for an alternative approach towards architecture by defining the specifics of topography, climate, light and tectonics as essential to the art of building. This issue of OASE examines the canonical role of Kenneth Frampton’s concept of ‘Critical Regionalism’, reaching beyond its traditional interpretation. It gathers contributions that propose a new genealogy of the text, critical re-readings and explorations by practicing architects and architecture theorists that evaluate the interest of Frampton’s ideas for contemporary architecture.

Summary:
Deux maisons et des bureaux sont construits sur un même terrain dans un environnement rural. Bernard Quirot et ses partenaires font du site un laboratoire reconstituant des histoires de l'habitation – l'habitat sur pilotis, l'habitat souterrain – mêlant des figures archaïques à des propositions avant-gardistes (les maisons du bush australien dessinées par l'architecte Glenn Murcutt ou la figure du bunker explorée par Claude Parent et Paul Virilio). Les trois réalisations interrogent trois matériaux et leur mise en œuvre dans une optique locale du « régionalisme critique » définit par les critiques Alexandre Tzonis et Kenneth Frampton.
