Dans cet ouvrage, l'auteur distingue en premier ce qu'est l'architecture de la simple construction afin de montrer comment la théorie s'avère centrale dans la démarche architecturale. Il introduit ainsi la notion de "lieu", d'abord en tant que problème philosophique, puis en tant qu'aspect d'une "édification" et finalement en tant que phénomène architectural et(...)

Summary:
Dans cet ouvrage, l'auteur distingue en premier ce qu'est l'architecture de la simple construction afin de montrer comment la théorie s'avère centrale dans la démarche architecturale. Il introduit ainsi la notion de "lieu", d'abord en tant que problème philosophique, puis en tant qu'aspect d'une "édification" et finalement en tant que phénomène architectural et territorial (la notion de paysage, par exemple). Développant cette réflexion qui repose sur plus de vingt années de recherches dans le domaine de la sémiotique des lieux, l'auteur met en place un dispositif cognitif mobilisant de nombreux diagrammes et figures répondant à ce qu'est l'architecture en général (qu'elle soit simple pavillon d'exposition de sculptures, avec Aldo van Eyck, ou recomposition urbaine de la ville, avec Louis Kahn). En conclusion, l'auteur aborde la question iconologique de cette problématique en reconsidérant la démarche d'Aloïs Riegl à propos de l'ornement comme moyen terme entre une science et un art.

Written in 1973 but only recently discovered in a private archive, this work extends Lefebvre’s influential theory of urban space to the question of architecture. Taking the practices and perspective of habitation as his starting place, Lefebvre redefines architecture as a mode of imagination rather than a specialized process or a collection of monuments. He calls for an architecture of jouissance—of pleasure or enjoyment—centered on the body and its rhythms and based on the possibilities of the senses.

Sauerbruch and Hutton are among contemporary architects in their redefinition of colour as an essential material of architecture. The polychromatic treatment of their buildings created over the past twenty years reflect and concentrate the colours, forms and energies of the contemporary city. Simultaneously image and sculpture, ornament and text, they allow the complex technical reality of a building to disappear behind a powerful aesthetic experience. Beside Sauerbruch Hutton's renowned buildings such as the GSW Headquarters in Berlin, the Federal Environmental Agency Dessau or Munich's Brandhorst Museum, this book also shows their more recent work.
