About the Book

Peu d'images sont aussi emblématiques de l'architecture du XXe siècle que la vue nocturne de la Case Study House #22. Perchée sur un promontoire surplombant la ville de Los Angeles, c'est dans ce décor que surgit cette construction en verre et acier, dont les lignes fuselées font écho aux artères scintillantes de la mégapole. Grâce à elle ainsi qu'un autre édifice tout aussi novateur qu'il conçut pour le célèbre programme lancé par le magazine Arts & Architecture, l'architecte américain Pierre Koenig (1925-2004) est devenu une figure majeure du mouvement moderne.

En 1950, Koenig, encore étudiant, imagine et construit sa première maison ouverte en acier, démontrant que les matériaux préfabriqués permettent de bâtir des habitations abordables avec une grande liberté dans la répartition des espaces. Tout au long de sa carrière, il favorise un design socialement responsable et des constructions qui s'adaptent très intelligemment au climat du sud de la Californie. Grâce à leurs larges ouvertures, à la présence d'eau, à leurs terrasses, verrières et baies vitrées, ses créations optimisent le rapport entre intérieur et extérieur tout en conservant un aspect aussi simple et épuré que possible.

À travers les projets majeurs de Koenig, comme les maisons Johnson (1962) et Oberman (1962), cet ouvrage présente un architecte pionnier par la méthode et les matériaux qu'il employa, une icône de son temps, dont la créativité fut attisée tant pas le goût de l'expérimentation que par l'optimisme de l'après-guerre.
