Roger Tallibert: Constructions 1
Roger Tallibert: Constructions 1

Visionary architect reshapes large-scale structure concepts.

If you're fascinated by the interplay between form and function in architecture, this monograph on Roger Taillibert is set to be a visually and intellectually stimulating experience. It's a deep dive into the creative mind that brought the world structures like the Montreal Olympic complex, showcasing how Taillibert's innovative use of materials like thin shells and textile roofs drastically moved the needle in modern architecture. It's a celebration of design daring that any architecture enthusiast would relish.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The first volume of a series dedicated to architect Roger Taillibert, this superbly illustrated monograph recalls the many different aspects of his work. Charting a career that spans over four decades and features major achievements such as the Montreal Olympic complex and the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, this history shows how Taillibert proved a visionary who explored and redefined the very notion of large-scale volumes, standing unafraid to stir controversy by using thin shells, moveable textile roofs and prefabricated elements.
