Abstract

Publié à l’occasion de l’exposition produite par le Centre culturel suisse à Paris, Matière d’art propose une “coupe” dans le passé le plus récent de l’architecture en Suisse. Un choix de bâtiments remarquables et l’approfondissement de plusieurs thèmes spécifiques cherchent à dégager ce qui est au vif d’une production contemporaine. Cet ouvrage a reçu le prix du Livre d’architecture pour l’année 2001 de l’Académie d’architecture (Paris) et du Centre régional des Lettres du Languedoc-Roussillon (Montpellier) avec le soutien du ministère de la Culture et de la Communication. Il a par la suite été édité en chinois (Dalian University of Technology Press, 2003).

Contemporary architecture

Contemporary architecture is the architecture of the 21st century. No single style is dominant. Contemporary architects work in several different styles, from postmodernism, high-tech architecture and new interpretations of traditional architecture to highly conceptual forms and designs, resembling sculpture on an enormous scale. Some of these styles and approaches make use of very advanced technology and modern building materials, such as tube structures which allow construction of buildings that are taller, lighter and stronger than those in the 20th century, while others prioritize the use of natural and ecological materials like stone, wood and lime.

New Classical architecture

New Classical architecture, New Classicism or Contemporary Classical architecture is a contemporary movement in architecture that continues the practice of Classical architecture. It is sometimes considered the modern continuation of Neoclassical architecture, even though other styles might be cited as well, such as Gothic, Baroque, Renaissance or even non-Western styles – often referenced and recreated from a postmodern perspective as opposed to being strict revival styles.
