<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>This book explores the public dimension of architecture. In circumstances that are often difficult, buildings add value to their locations, transforming them.</b> <p/> This book takes a new look at the eclectic work of Dominique Coulon; his production of public buildings illustrates the complexity of his architectural approach. Dominique Coulon plays with context, light, and materiality to produce public places that are detailed and welcoming. The areas he proposes affect and accompany the body. His architecture is part of a dynamic relationship, mobilising the senses to propose a specific universe, which may be cheerful, or dramatic. These spaces serve the public dimension of his architecture. <p/>With Contributions of Luca Merlini, Claude Bonnet, Daniel Payot, Alexandra Pignol, Étienne Butzbach, Richard Scoffie<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>...the meat of any monograph is its projects, and those in Crossings are very good and documented very well. Logically, the standouts for this book blogger are two of the libraries: Thionville (third spread) and Pélisanne. As it happens, each of these buildings features curving glass walls, which make them stand out visually from the orthogonal and diagonal compositions that make up the most of the two decades of buildings on display here. --John Hill, A Daily Dose of Architecture<br><br>...the Modernist legacy survives in the work of Dominique Coulon and Associates. --Architectural Record<br><br>Impressively and profusely illustrated in full color throughout, as well as thoroughly 'reader friendly' in organization and presentation, Crossings: Dominique Coulon & Associes is an extraordinary and invaluable contribution to personal, professional, community, college, and university library Contemporary Architectural Studies collections and supplemental curriculum reading lists. --Midwest Book Review<br>
