Summary:
The Berlage Affair is an anthology of critical essays, reviews, and interviews cataloguing 20+ years of work and insight from architectural educator, Vedran.

Summary:
Si Jean Balladur (1924-2002) est célèbre pour sa réalisation controversée de la station balnéaire de La Grande-Motte, il est aussi l'architecte d'une cinquantaine d'ouvrages en France et dans le monde qui dessinent, pendant près de trente ans, une oeuvre considérable fondée sur une approche réfléchie et engagée. Élève de Jean-Paul Sartre dont il suit les cours de philosophie, et diplômé de l'ENSBA, il pratique d'abord une écriture minimaliste inspirée par l'oeuvre de Mies van der Rohe. Refusant tout dogmatisme, il s'invente ensuite une écriture personnelle vers un "urbanisme organique" toujours plus affirmé, signant une contribution précoce et majeure à la postmodernité. Il laisse également une oeuvre écrite originale sur l'architecture, l'urbanisme et le paysage. Autant de clefs de lecture indispensables pour comprendre le travail de Jean Balladur, dont cet ouvrage met en lumière la singularité.
