Yves Brunier

Viac o knihe

The work of Yves Brunier, a young French landscape architect who died not long ago, is an invitation to contemplate landscapes, spaces and projects in a new and unfamiliar way. Though Brunier’s work was brought to an end all too soon – after only five years of intense activity – it reveals exceptional talent. Brunier built up extremely fruitful working in relationships with various architects, in particular with Rem Koolhaas and Jean Nouvel, before carrying out his own projects in association with Isabelle Auricoste. This publication seeks to reflect Yves Brunier’s progression, his work and his art. Texts written by Marc Claramunt, Isabelle Auricoste, Petra Blaisse and Hubert Tonka – his critics, friends and associates – the testimony of Rem Koolhaas and Jean Nouvel, a selection of projects and creations, and Brunier’s own highly distinctive drawings and collages are brought together to prompt discovery, understanding, criticism or a desire to follow the course of Brunier’s singular development.
