This book brings together 29 projects from the past ten years,
completed and ongoing, designed by Paris-based h2o Architects. The
presentation is arranged by thematic categories that stem from the
firm's singular approach. The tasks vary greatly in type, scale and
individual context: From a housing development in Paris to a hotel
in Rio de Janeiro, from a temporary school pavilion and a timber
construction for a vineyard to the rehabilitation of Paris's Museum
of Modern Art in the eastern wing of Palais de Tokyo and other
large public spaces. h2o Architectes' proposals are united by an
approach that is always both radical and sensitive. Interviews
conducted by architect and writer Fanny Leglise and essays by
architect and anthropologist Miguel Mazeri and architect Bernard
Tschumi shed light on various aspects of the firm's practice,
vision and philosophy. The book also features poems by French
writer and poet Frederic Forte, composed in situ at several of h2o
Architectes' building sites. Photographs, renderings, and plans
round out this first comprehensive monograph on one of France's
leading up-and-coming architecture firms. Text in English and
French.
