Beschreibung
This book brings together twenty-nine projects from the past ten years, both completed and ongoing, designed by Paris-based h2o architectes. Arranged in thematic categories that stem from the firms singular approach to design and architecture, the projects vary greatly in type, scale, and individual context, including housing developments in Paris, a hotel in Rio de Janeiro, a temporary school pavilion, a timber construction for a vineyard, the rehabilitation of Pariss Museum of Modern Art, and other large public spaces. h2o architectes proposals are united by an approach that is always both radical and sensitive, an ethos that emerges here from interviews conducted by architect and writer Fanny Léglise, while essays by architect and anthropologist Miguel Mazeri and architect Bernard Tschumi shed light on various aspects of the firms practice, vision, and philosophy. The book also features poems by French writer and poet Frédéric Forte, composed in situ at several of h2o architectes building sites. Photographs, renderings, and plans round out this first comprehensive volume on one of Frances leading up-and-coming architecture firms.
Autorenporträt
h2o architectes, founded by Charlotte Hubert, Jean-Jacques Hubert and Antoine Santiard, is a Paris-based firm working on projects of various types and scales, from housing to public space and cultural facilities. The office is dedicated to architectural, heritage and urban creation and reprogramming. Unsurprisingly, the historical and social complexity of contexts such as these has given rise to a real suppleness of approach. Building Paris is a Parisbased art direction and design studio founded by Benoît Santiard and Guillaume Grall. A special focus of their work is on architecture books. Fanny Léglise is a Bordeaux-based freelance architect, researcher, curator, and consultant.
