Crossings: Dominique Coulon & Associés - Hardcover

by Dominique Coulon (Author)

This book explores the public dimension of architecture. In circumstances that are often difficult, buildings add value to their locations, transforming them.

This book takes a new look at the eclectic work of Dominique Coulon; his production of public buildings illustrates the complexity of his architectural approach. Dominique Coulon plays with context, light, and materiality to produce public places that are detailed and welcoming. The areas he proposes affect and accompany the body. His architecture is part of a dynamic relationship, mobilising the senses to propose a specific universe, which may be cheerful, or dramatic. These spaces serve the public dimension of his architecture.
