Résumé:
Dans cet entretien mené par Philippe Ungar, Roger Taillibert revient sur son parcours, ses expériences, les lieux et les rencontres qui ont orienté son travail de création : Le Corbusier bien sûr, Gropius, Franck Lloyd Wright mais surtout Alvar Aalto qui lui fait prendre conscience, en Finlande, dès 1959, de l’importance du détail. Roger Taillibert évoque alors sa manière de travailler, les "visions" en trois dimensions qui s’imposent à lui d’abord floues, elles se précisent à travers les nombreux croquis qu’il réalise sur ses carnets, les intuitions qu’il faut défendre auprès des clients… Il insiste par-dessus tout sur la nécessité de penser l’homme dans le lieu, sans quoi toute architecture est vaine et "toxique". Cette ouvrage met en valeur cette résonnance entre architecture et peinture en proposant un parallèle inédit entre les plus grandes réalisations de l’architecte et ses recherches picturales.
