Résumé:
The typology of the townhouse originated in the late 19th century yet still represents a viable and attractive alternative to the detached single-family home. Several apartments spread across up to five floors are connected by a common staircase. In terms of urban planning, this type of structure makes it possible to reconcile dense urban settlement with open green spaces. Specially commissioned photographs and plan drawings of eight exemplary Lausanne townhouses illustrate texts written by international authors, who unfold the theme in its worldwide relevance.

L’École d’architecture de Lyon (prix spécial du jury de l’Équerre d’argent en 1987), de Françoise-Hélène Jourda (1955-2015) et de Gilles Perraudin (1949), livrée en 1988, se distingue comme l’une des constructions publiques les plus singulières des années 1980, véritable symbole du réinvestissement de l’État dans la formation des architectes. Pendant près d’une vingtaine d’années, les projets se multiplient dans l’agglomération lyonnaise avant que le choix de la localisation de la nouvelle École d’architecture ne se porte sur Vaulx-en-Velin, dans le cadre d’un rapprochement avec l’École nationale des travaux publics de l’État, construite en 1976, matérialisant sa longue complicité avec les grandes écoles publiques d’ingénieurs et qui marque le début d’une structuration des campus de ce qui deviendra l’Université de Lyon.

Résumé:
Made from prefabricated concrete panels, Plattenbauten rose from the ruins of Berlin, providing a quick and inexpensive solution to the severe housing shortage faced by the city after World War II. Although criticized in their day for their sterility and impersonal scale, they nonetheless became an integral part of the city. Drawn from his extensive investigations into Berlin’s urban landscape, Jesse Simon’s texts and photographs offer a convincing argument for the aesthetic and social value of buildings that were once described as “eyesores.”

Résumé:
S’interroger sur la construction dans l’architecture suisse, c’est s’intéresser aux liens indissociables entre les questions constructives et leurs implications spatiales, esthétiques et culturelles. C’est plus largement considérer la pensée des architectes, la manière dont ils conçoivent – dans tous les sens du terme – leurs édifices. C’est donc d’une part chercher à comprendre leur démarche de travail et les outils et théories qu’ils mobilisent au cours du processus de projection, mais c’est aussi, d’autre part, essayer de saisir, pour chacun d’eux, le sens qu’ils donnent au bâtir, la vision qu’ils ont de leur métier et de leur rôle dans la société.
