Book Description
"Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal are known for an architecture that privileges inhabitants’ freedom and pleasure through generous, open designs. The Paris-based architects opened their 2015 lecture at Harvard University with a manifesto: study and create an inventory of the existing situation; densify without compressing individual space; promote user mobility, access, choice; and most importantly, never demolish. Freedom of Use reflects on these core values to present a fluid narrative of Lacaton and Vassal’s oeuvre, articulated through processes of accumulation, addition, and extension. The architects describe built and unbuilt work, from a house in Niger made of little more than branches; to the expansive Nantes School of Architecture; to a public square in Bordeaux where, after months of study, their design solution was: do nothing."--Sternberg Press website (viewed Sept. 29, 2015)

Book Description
En las décadas de 1960 y 1970 se construyeron en Francia y en toda Europa numerosos conjuntos de vivienda colectiva que, si bien lograron paliar la apremiante necesidad de viviendas de la posguerra, hoy en día presentan graves carencias. Frédéric Durot, Anne Lacaton y Jean-Philippe Vassal se enfrentan a esta problemática desde una actitud novedosa y proponen su radical transformación para adaptarlas a los modos de vida actuales. 'No derribar nunca, no restar ni reemplazar nunca, sino añadir, transformar y reutilizar siempre.' Esta es la premisa en la que se basa la propuesta de los autores. A partir de un análisis de los elementos que conforman la vivienda, en un recorrido que va de dentro afuera del edificio, los autores recuperan el placer de habitar desde una actitud precisa y delicada que tiene en cuenta todas las preexistencias. Los siete proyectos que aquí se presentan son el resultado de este planteamiento, en unos casos estudios y, en otros, propuestas ganadoras de concursos de arquitectura donde se desarrollan los objetivos y las ideas planteados en los primeros.

Book Description
A fascinating guide to building with transparent plastics. Prominent international avant-garde architects such as Shigeru Ban and Herzog & de Meuron frequently use transparent plastic for their structures. Transparent plastic seems ephemeral and thus captures the spirit of the times.
