ATTITUDE Lacaton & Vassal

This book brings together for the first time various writings by Lacaton & Vassal , the pair of French architects who, since bursting onto the international architectural scene in the early 1990s, have become an inescapable reference in a way of doing architecture that ethics and economy take precedence over the spectacular nature of the star architect . His attitude towards architecture, which over time has become an inescapable reference for several generations of architects, prioritizes the real needs of users over aesthetic decisions, offers more space for the same price and proposes to rehabilitate before demolish and rebuild.

Despite the little that these architects write and the programmatic nature of their texts, this book brings together a series of writings in which, far from any personalist rhetoric, the architects not only reflect on their work, but also on the role of architecture in today's world and, above all, on how to approach it from ethics and rationality.
