Spoiled Climate
Architectural projects which expose the hidden contradictions of our everyday reality in a lively yet challenging way. Franois Roche (born in 1961 in Paris) and his partner Stephanie Lavaux (born in 1966 on the Reunion Island) are radical advocates of an architecture which is to be perceived as a tool for increasing critical awareness, as a discipline which provokes thought and inspires the imagination. Their buildings and projects, which include the new art museum in Bangkok and the Glacier Museum in Switzerland, both of which would have been unthinkable without the latest IT methods of design, strive towards designs which are unique and unmistakeable in both function and appearance.

Innovations Durables / Appropriate Sustainabilities
Whilst France's contemporary architecture is highly regarded throughout the world, her architects have hardly been leading protagonists in the debate on ecological building. The developments featured in this book, however, should serve to correct this impression. Between 1999- 2002 Electricité de France (EDF) initiated an ambitious research programme to bring together first-class architects and innovative technologies involving renewable energy, strategies to reduce energy consumption, newly developed software programs to support ecologically oriented architectural design etc. The goal was to create sustainable and aesthetically pleasing architecture. This book documents the submissions from both established and younger architects. Amongst those included are Jacques Ferrier, Christian Hauvette, Marc Mimram and François Roche.
Canal Front
"More than just a line of buildings with a similar architectural presentation, these creations by the Atelier d'Art Urbain represent a real wasteside frontage alongside the canal in Brussels (Belgium), a frontage which recalls not only the industrial architecture of the surrounding district but also the typically eclectic style to be found throughout Brussels." "This book traces their respective courses, and is prefaced by an interview with each of the four senior partners of the architectural practice."--BOOK JACKET.

Useful - Utiles
Experimentation and innovation are essential to the work of Jacques Ferrier. Extensive projects such as the waterworks in Joinville or the redesign of the Renault grounds in Guyancourt have contributed to his reputation. He has currently been commissioned to do a large number of projects including the completion of the Air France offices and ateliers in Orly, industrial buildings in Bordeaux and Valenciennes, and the Collà ̈ge de France in Paris. Much in demand in France, he is now gaining international recognition. The preface of the book is by Alexander Tzonis from the University of Technology in Delft, and Director of DKS, Design Knowledge Systems.
Christian Hauvette
Born in 1944, Christian Hauvette, studied under the philosopher Roland Barthes before going on to train as an architect. Since 1980 he has headed his own office in Paris. Today, Hauvette is one of France's leading architects. His architecture is characterised by a clear, constructive purpose which is at the same time highly expressive. Jean Prouvé's theories are much in evidence in his work. This monograph provides an in-depth overview on the buildings and projects of the 90s, including the School of Waters and Forests in Clermont-Ferrand and his sensational headquarters of the Caisse Française de Développement in Paris, analysing the essential characteristics of Hauvette's creativity.
H99
H99 is the first housing skyscraper to be built in France for many years. Designed by the young architect, Jean-Baptiste Pietri, it is incorporated into a 90,000mA development project in the Cite de la Mediterranee, Marseille. This title follows the project's development, raising the issue of the relevance of skyscrapers.
Gare des tramways de Nice
The Nice tramway terminal, designed by architects Marc Barani, is an innovative architectural project rewarded with the Equerre d'Argent 2008 and one of five finalists for the Mies van der Rohe prize. This book describes a construction that fulfilled the architecture, landscape and urban design requirements of both architect and client.
