- The lecture by Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal of Lacaton Vassal (Paris) will illustrate a continuous process of accumulation, addition, and reinterpretation, reformulating recurrent themes and questions each time, such as capacity, flexibility, superimpositions, climate, comfort, uses, shells, structures, and economy. The projects to be presented speak primarily about INHABITING, USE, PLEASURE, and FREEDOM. Inhabiting (beyond the functional) is about pleasure, generosity, and the freedom to occupy the space around and in front of oneself. Architecture means building multitudes of usage situations-connected, intersected and mobile-which facilitate the appropriation of space. Economy is a tool of freedom that, far from restricting and diminishing, opens possibilities and provides margins for generosity and the extraordinary. Beyond any aesthetic and formal determination, beyond rules, standards, and programs, buildings are beautiful when people feel well in them, when the light inside is beautiful and the air is pleasant, when the exchange with the outside seems easy and gentle, and when uses and sensations are unexpected.
The lecture starts at 10:14
Great work, there are so much caring and beauty you brought to environment and people throughout your projects 👏👏👏

I just got the video in my recommended, but very happy to hear the news!
Me
Meee 🙌
everybody.
MVP. Most valuable projekt.
Thanks very powerful
The veranda adding project was so nice.
It was nice yet quite disturbing to see just adding an additional open/free space to the original gives residents a true 'freedom'. Such a sad portrait of today's housing inequalites
can someone explain to me - with all this transparency they have in buildings (trees going through house, a lot of very big sliding doors, windows) how do they keep heat losses to a minimum?
also, if you add winter garden and balcony - do you still get enough light inside previous spaces (since they are now deeper in the building)?
All this is precisely calculated (various layers of thin material you make slide following the seasons).
the wintergardens add passive solar heat to the flats. I guess that the light is not an issue because they widened the openings of the walls. And in general it is wise to add roof overhangs to south facing facades as it prevents overheating. I think the general philosophy is to have an intermediate space (the wintergarden). Which can in summer time act as an extension of the interior living spaces and in the winter act as a temperature buffer.
What's the name of the movie referred at 7:45?
May be “Cocorico! Monsieur Poulet”
The extensions of the departments... hasn´t that a complication to the structure? Why? How do yo do it?
The extensions are totally independent. A concrete structure on the ground.
Great introduction to Lacaton and Vassal, but way to long winded!
well its a lecture. what do you expect
Great transformations of apartments giving indoor / outdoor space. BUT NO, NO … to the National Art Gallery in Berlin, Mies created an absolute miesterpiece of proportion and detailed design.
Uffff the introduction got on my nerves
cheap is more
freedom
inhabit
possibility
generousity
no demolition just add
nearly do nothing
prefabricated concrete
winter garden
believe in modern architecture
housing is everywhere
way too long and boring intro...jeez, just skip to 10:00
