D’importants chantiers qui s’achèvent, d’autres qui débutent, des projets en cours et en concours, des expositions, des publications attestent la belle vitalité du bureau fondé en 1990 par les architectes Ueli Brauen et Doris Wälchli. Dans leur quête pragmatique et inspirée d’un langage propre, ceux-ci dévoilent, de desseins en ouvrages, leur manière de penser et de faire l’architecture et se plaisent à faire entendre d’autres voix dans la leur. Ils aiment à dire, en effet, que la théorie transversale de leur travail, ce dont se nourrit le processus projectuel, c’est le dialogue élargi : dialogue entre les expériences et les compétences des différents intervenants du projet, dialogue entre les solutions possibles d’un problème, dialogue avec le site, le contexte... Les travaux présentés dans cet ouvrage sont emblématiques de leur production et de leur démarche créative entendue comme ouverture d’esprit, celle que requiert l’exercice raisonné de la profession d’architecte. Cet ouvrage illustré de photographies, plans et détails retraçant les quelque 20 années de réalisations et projets du bureau d’architecture Ueli Brauen + Doris Wälchli.

Installé à Nancy, il retient de cette école un désir de nouveauté et d’innovation. Lors de l’Exposition internationale des Arts décoratifs de 1925, le modernisme lui fait forte impression, et il participe en 1929 à la création de l’Union des artistes modernes. Ses réalisations sont caractérisées par une recherche de fonctionnalité et de simplicité décorative. Il conçoit des éléments d’architecture et collabore avec des architectes comme R. Mallet-Stevens, T. Garnier, E. Beaudouin et M. Lods. Il commence alors à industrialiser sa production et à produire du mobilier en série. Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale et la mise au point de ses premières maisons préfabriquées, il travaille à la conception de bâtiments. Cet ouvrage s’attache au constructeur que fut Jean Prouvé, et propose une analyse détaillée de plusieurs de ses édifices emblématiques, comme le pavillon de l’aluminium ou la maison qu’il se construisit en 1954 à Nancy.

Summary:
In the period following the Second World War, the Architectural Association (AA) became the only British school of architecture of truly global renown. It was one of only two schools in the world which fully embraced and promoted the pedagogical ideals put forward by CIAM (Congrès Internationaux d’Architecture Moderne), and emerged as an admired example for architectural education in other countries. Many of the most famous British architects and critics of the past 60 years attended the AA. This book traces the history of the school from the end of the war until the mid-1960's, when it surrendered its position as the pacemaker in British architectural education in order to safeguard its institutional independence. Alvin Boyarsky, who became chairman in 1971, remodeled the AA as a postmodern, "internationalist" school and detached it from its modernist, British origins. Thus, there has been no research into the AA’s postwar history, which remains dominated by myths and half-truths. The book replaces these myths with an in-depth account of what really happened.
