Abstract

Né à Genève en 1925, François Maurice y fait ses études. A partir de 1944 il fréquente la Haute Ecole d’architecture de Genève, après un bref passage à l’ETH de Zurich. En 1952, il ouvre son bureau dans la même ville avec Jean Duret et Jean-Pierre Dom ; il s’associe ensuite avec Jean-Pierre Dom seul, de 1959 à 1966 ; ensuite avec Louis Parmelin de 1967 à 1982 ; enfin, avec Jean-Marc Comte et Othmar Thurnerr de 1986 à 2000. François Maurice a toujours pratiqué et valorisé le travail en association. L’œuvre de François Maurice est imprégnée de rationalisme et de pragmatisme. Il accorde une prépondérance, dans le processus de projet, à une pensée structurelle et constructive témoignant d’une attitude pragmatique qui prend en compte simultanément les exigences programmatiques, techniques et esthétiques du projet. Cet ouvrage, abondamment illustré et documenté, est un regard sur l’œuvre construite et dessinée de François Maurice, selon un découpage thématique qui regroupe les projets et réalisations selon leur appartenance à un même programme.
