Lacaton & Vassal

432 pages, Spanish/English

This reprint of ‘El Croquis’ celebrates Paris-based architects Lacaton & Vassal, after founders Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal became Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureates in 2021. It gives special consideration not only to the evolution of their methodology and ideals, through critical analysis by Arnoldo Rivkin and Juan Hereros and an interview with the architects, but also to an extensive selection of exemplary projects. Among the featured works are the Nantes School of Architecture, FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais, Guangzhou Museum, Le Grand Sud Polyvalent Theater in Lille, housing projects in Paris, Saint Nazaire, Mulhouse, and Bordeaux, plus their newest projects since winning the Pritzker Prize.
