Lacaton & Vassal: Free Space, Transformation, Habiter
Lacaton & Vassal: Free Space, Transformation, Habiter
The winners of the 2021 Pritzker Prize present their architectural ethos through nine examples
The French firm Lacaton & Vassal, established in Paris in 1987 by Anne Lacaton (born 1955) and Jean-Philippe Vassal (born 1954), has designed private and social housing, cultural and academic institutions and public spaces that reflects its advocacy of social justice and sustainability.
Here, the winners of the 2021 Pritzker Prize present their oeuvre of four decades through three guiding concepts. Free Space signifies their concern to achieve a generosity of scale; Transformation expresses their adage "never demolish, always add, transform, extend"; and Habiter describes their insistence on making space one's own.
Accordingly, this volume presents nine built works by the architects, showing the life and inhabitants of each building so as to convey its animation and adaptation as a tenanted structure.
In this book, the French architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal, winners of the 2021 Pritzker Prize, present their work through three concepts: Free Space - the ideal space would invariably be generous of size, efficiency and comfort. This pre-determined aim is a fundamental principle for Lacaton and Vassal: it is no longer up for debate, and it forms the basis of all their projects. Transformation - never demolish, always add, transform, extend. Apply free space to existing structures and situations. Treat the place as an existing prerequisite. Take the values of the place as it is and integrate them into the project, never in opposition to it. Habiter - life, uses, making the space one's own. Making the others and the inhabited space tangible through the frames of Karine Dana's films, showing the life and inhabitants in nine built works by the architects.
