Presentation of the monograph "Crossings / Traversées" at the College of Architects of Catalonia (COAC) in Barcelona
Lecture
On February 10 at 6:30 p.m. there will be a presentation of the book "Crossings/Traversées", with the participation of the author, the French architect Dominique Coulon and his fellow architect Ricardo Devesa.
The writing of Dominique Coulon & Associés, twice nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Prize, reflects the work of the French agency and the construction of complex spatial relations in different contextual positions. In often difficult circumstances, buildings enhance their locations by transforming them.
Crossings/Traversées explores the public dimension of architecture by revisiting the eclectic work of architect Dominique Coulon. His production of public buildings illustrates the richness of his architectural approach which plays with context, light and materiality to produce detailed and welcoming public places. The architecture he proposes touches and accompanies the body within the framework of a dynamic relationship, mobilizing the senses to propose a specific universe, which can be joyful or dramatic.

Publication
"The writing of Dominique Coulon & Associés, nominated twice for the Mies van der Rohe award, reflects the agency’s work in connection with different contextual postures and the construction of complex spatial relationships. In circumstances that are often difficult, buildings add value to their locations, transforming them. This book explores the public dimension of architecture taking a new look at the eclectic work of Dominique Coulon; his production of public buildings illustrates the complexity of his architectural approach. Dominique Coulon plays with context, light, and materiality to produce public places that are detailed and welcoming. The areas he proposes affect and accompany the body. His architecture is part of a dynamic relationship, mobilising the senses to propose a specific universe, which may be cheerful, or dramatic. These spaces serve the public dimension of his architecture."
