Since his first house, which he designed while still a student, was honoured with the most important Belgian architecture award in 1974, Jo Crepain (1950) has developed an impressive body of work in Belgium, and later also in the Netherlands, which currently accounts for the vast majority of his assignments. The large diversity and continuous innovation in his works should, in this context, be seen as a consequence of an incessant search which yielded some of the most striking structures in recent Belgian architectural history. Building is, in the first place, a psychological phenomenon to him, and a house is the last place left on earth to recover a piece of paradise lost. Not only for 'the happy few', but 'pour le plus grand nombre'.

Trade Paperback. Etat : Used - Very Good. Since 1974, when his very first built house, which he designed as a student, was honored with the most important Belgian architecture award, Jo Crepain has developed an impressive body of work. Most of these structures can be found in Belgium, especially the earlier ones; later assignments have ranged throughout the Netherlands. The large diversity and continuous innovation evident in his architectural oeuvre can be understood as a consequence of an incessant search--and one which has yielded some of the most striking structures in recent Belgian architectural history. For Crepain, building is in the first place a psychological phenomenon, and a house is the last place left on earth where we can hope to recover a piece of paradise lost--not only for an elite few, but for as many people as possible. This hefty monograph considers a lifetime of work, from 1973 to 2003, presenting dozens of individual projects through textual descriptions, photographs, and floor plans, as well as extended essays on different periods of Crepain's output. Open copy, light wear, wrapped in Brodart protector, light sticker residue/removal damage on lower right of back cover/dust jacket. N° de réf. du vendeur 265471
