Un livre d'architecture pour tous ceux qui sont inspirés par l'innovation et le développement. Richement illustré par de belles photographies, des dessins et des croquis
Un regard intime sur un des architectes influents de notre temps.
Sous plusieurs aspects, l'architecture du 21e siècle est un paradoxe. Energétique sans être énergivore, pleine de sens tout en étant durable dans tous les sens du terme, elle doit surtout respecter et se fondre dans harmonieusement dans l'environnement.
Jean-François Koenig, Architecte respecte tous ces principes depuis quatre décennies. Son but est simple : participer à l'amélioration de la qualité de la vie des utilisateurs de ses créations, un bâtiment se doit de respecter des critères esthétiques mais doit aussi s'intégrer dans une infrastructure et dans un réseau de transport existant. Les réalisations de JF Koenig comptent des hôtels, des maisons individuelles, des bâtiments publics et des écoles, le principe commun de ces projets étant de se fondre dans la ville et de participer à la construction urbaine.
Quand il remporta la troisième place d'une compétition RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) en 1979, avec Norman Foster comme juré, Koenig était le seul étudiant en architecture à être primé. A l'époque son projet de lien piéton entre Trafalgar square et Leicester square était un signe avant-coureur de son sens de l'urbanisation, sans oublier un magnifique coup de crayon. Un des projets les plus emblématiques de Koenig est la Commercial Bank de l'île Maurice, d'où il est originaire et où il réside.

JEAN-FRANCOIS KOENIG zählt zu den 100 Architects 2012 , ein Wettbewerb, der von der International Union of Architects (UIA) und dem Korean Institute of Architects (KIA) organisiert wurde. In den 1980er-Jahren arbeitete er mit RIBA Gold Medal Award Architekt Sir Philip Dowson zusammen. Sein Bauprojekt der Mauritius Commercial Bank gehört zur besten Architektur Afrikas, die 2011 während des UIA World Congress in Tokyo mit der Auszeichnung Sustainable by Design 2050 und mit dem BREEAM Certificate ausgezeichnet wurde. Er arbeitete bisher in England, Südafrika, Indien, Madagaskar, auf den Seychellen, auf La Réunion und die letzten 30 Jahre ebenfalls auf Mauritius.
In many regards, architecture of the 21st century has to fit a square peg into a round hole. It should be energetic and meaningful and yet be as sustainable as possible in all details. It should offer ample and proportioned space for its inhabitants, but also fit harmoniously into its environment. Architect Jean-Francois Koenig has been meeting these requirements for four decades. With the goal of improving the life quality of the inhabitants and users of his buildings, he sets out elaborate aesthetic designs that also include infrastructure and transport connections. The projects in Jean-Francois Koenig's portfolio - including offices, private houses, hotels, public buildings, and schools - reflect his enhancement and integration of the many facets of urban life. When he won the third prize in a RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) competition in 1979, with Norman Foster as judge, Koenig was the only architecture student among the winners. Even at that stage, his sketch for a pedestrian link between Trafalgar Square and Leicester Square demonstrated his sense for the city environment, not to mention his outstanding graphic talent.

Hardcover/Hardback. Etat : New. Ein Architekturbuch fuer alle, die sich fuer modernes, innovatives Baudesign und dessen Entstehungsprozess begeisternEin breites Spektrum an Architekturfotografie, Architekturzeichnungen und SkizzenHier laesst sich ein Stararchitekt in die Karten schauenDie moderne Baukunst des 21. Jahrhunderts hat mit ihren diversen Aufgaben die Quadratur des Kreises zu erfuellen: Sie soll energetisch sinnvoll und auch in jedem anderen Merkmal moeglichst nachhaltig sein, in der Regel reichlich Raum fuer jeden Menschen bieten und sich dennoch harmonisch in die Umgebung einfuegen. Jean-Francois Koenig stellt sich diesen Anforderungen bereits seit vier Jahrzehnten. Mit dem Ziel, die Lebensqualitaet der Bewohner und Nutzer seiner Architektur zu verbessern, setzt er auf durchdachtes, aesthetisches Design auch unter Beruecksichtigung von Infrastruktur und Verkehrsanbindung. Viele Facetten des staedtischen Lebens spiegeln Koenigs Portfolio wider. Neben Bueros, Privathaeusern, Hotels und oeffentlichen Gebaeuden entdeckt man auch Schulen. Als er 1979 bei einem Architekturwettbewerb des RIBA Royal Institute of British Architects, mit Norman Forster als Juror, den dritten Preis gewann, war er der einzige Student unter den Gewinnern. Schon damals zeigte sich in seinem Entwurf fuer einen Fussgaengeruebergang zwischen Trafalgar Square und Leicester Square sein Sinn fuer staedtebauliche Kontexte. Eines von Koenigs vielfach geachteten Objekten ist die Commercial Bank auf der Insel Mauritius, von der er stammt und die auch heute noch sein Wohnort ist. N° de réf. du vendeur 408058
