A radical retrospective that dissects 25 years of architectural production through 58 built projects and 30 provocative texts of BROISSIN Architects.
This book resists convention--it questions, dismantles, and reveals the friction behind the polished surface of success. An architecture that emerges from silence, irony, and a fierce commitment to consciousness. xxThis is not just an architecture book.It's a rift. An uncomfortable whisper between the walls of 25 years of practice.
Here, 58 built projects are presented, arranged with the logic of time. But between every line and every drawing, something else slips through: a suspicion. A resistance. An unresolved question. Thirty texts--written without permission and unafraid of disappointment--accompany this journey. They do not explain, nor justify. They interrogate. They dismantle comfortable narratives. They expose award-winning fictions. They mock ego and complacency. They celebrate doubt as a design method. This book is a construction log, but also a testimony of unrest. A cartography of what we have done and, more importantly, what we are no longer willing to do.
Between drawings and words, the reader will find architecture.
But they will also find silence, rage, irony, beauty... and commitment. Because here, architecture is built twice:
once in matter,
and once in consciousness...
though the latter rarely pays, rarely gets published, and almost never wins awards.
