Résumé:
Formé par le célèbre architecte américain Frank Lloyd Wright, Roger D'Astous fut un des créateurs les plus féconds de la génération des pionniers québécois du modernisme après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Comme son maître, l'architecte montréalais fut avant tout un bâtisseur de maisons. Toujours fidèle aux principes de l'architecture organique, notamment l'intégration de l'œuvre au milieu naturel et le respect de la propriété des matériaux, il sut, grâce à une recherche persistante, concevoir des formes nouvelles qui lui permirent de créer un style personnel. Roger d'Astous apporta aussi une contribution exceptionnelle à l'architecture religieuse qui franchissait une étape de renouveau au moment où il entamait sa carrière. Sa production d'autres types d'édifices fut moins soutenue, mais presque chaque fois son intervention dans ces domaines a donné lieu à des œuvres qui se démarquent par leur originalité, comme en témoigne l'élégant Château Champlain à Montréal.

Résumé:
"The Empty Room", in the absence of any visual materials, was a written manifesto composed of RZLBD’s poems and collection of quotes intended to portray the room and the emptiness as the essence of architecture. Now, "100 Rooms" complements our own blurry images of the empty room with a visual guide. Each spread consists of a plan and a physical model of a room, which is an excavation of the geometry and order inherent within the square. It holds no design intention — no scale or function — but simply one of infinite possibilities that emerge from a square. This framework suggests that the formal expression of a room comes from within. With these visual references, one can begin to imagine many approximations to the empty room. A line on paper is always less, as Kahn says, but through these measurable means, the immeasurable idea of the empty room will be formed in one’s mind.
