First monograph devoted to French architect's “avant-garde” vernacular projects (housing, furniture and design, urban planning, civil engineering, public infrastructure, etc.) with which he develops, since 1980, a sustainable and ecological architecture.
Since 1980, Gilles Perraudin (born 1949 in Bourgoin-Jallieu, France) has been developing a project strategy in his architectural work, first with Jourda & Perraudin and then with Perraudin Architectes, based on an understanding of and respect for the environment, which stems from his reflections on materials and energy management. He has long been interested in approaches that offer alternatives to a modernist architecture based on industrial and consumerist logics.
