Establishing domestic spaces in buildings originally constructed for industrial use, the loft phenomenon, has become one of the most significant cultural movements of the late-20th century. Featuring the juxtaposition of contemporary living with the remnants of a building's original shell, even the most simple loft should have the dramatism often lacking in all but the best examples of contemporary design. Written by two young architectural critics and designed by a forward-looking graphics team, this book tells, with the aid of colour photographs, plans and drawings, the story of some of the world's most exciting and challenging loft conversions. Around 30 architect-designed lofts are featured, showing how designers have overcome specific problems generic to lofts.

New York, années 1950 ; quelques artistes pauvres s'installent dans les usines désaffectées de la ville ; pour un faible loyer ils peuvent vivre et travailler dans un grand espace. Le concept du loft est lancé. Aujourd'hui, à Londres, Berlin ou Paris, les lofts, à l'architecture souvent raffinée, sont habités par une élite bourgeoise. De marginal et contestataire à ces débuts, ce mode de vie qui présente un charme particulier a vite été récupéré par toute une frange de la population, soit par goût, soit par snobisme. Plus que la simple transformation d'anciennes constructions industrielles à des fins d'habitation, le loft a en effet provoqué de véritables bouleversements dans la philosophie de la vie domestique.
Outre une histoire du mouvement et de la culture du loft, cet ouvrage présente des exemples concrets de ce type de lieux de vie, photos et commentaires à l'appui, qui donnent un panorama très complet de leur diversité et des solutions qu'ils apportent chaque fois à des problèmes particuliers. --Sylvie Lécallier
