D’une cabane dans un jardin rouennais à une opération de 57 logements dans l’ouest parisien, Suites présente une sélection de 77 projets de l’agence Jean-Christophe Quinton architecte à travers 100 plans classés par ordre croissant de surface, de 1 à 80 pièces.
From a hut in a garden in Rouen to a 57-unit housing project in western Paris, Suites presents a selection of 77 projects by the Jean-Christophe Quinton architect agency through 100 plans classified in ascending order of surface area, from 1 to 80 rooms. A true exercise in style and geometry, this collection of plans illustrates the central place that drawing—considered as an architectural practice in its own right—has occupied in the work of Jean-Christophe Quinton for some twenty years. Beyond the formal pleasure, the book questions the question of the inhabited by focusing on the relationships that are established between the pieces and that materialize in the plan. According to Quinton « the conceptual power of the relationship between room and plan helps to overcome the increasing and daunting complexity in which any designer is placed, thereby helping him to reclaim his autonomy, his creativity and a remarkable and shared architectural identity.
