Abstract

Cet ouvrage présente trente deux projets d’architecture représentatifs de la vaste réflexion architecturale et urbanistique issue chaque année des ateliers de l’école polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne. En plus de sa mission d’enseignement, l’EPFL est le lieu privilégié de la recherche et du partage des connaissances. Le projet d’architecture est une démarche pratique et intellectuelle qui s’appuie sur l’expérience concrète tout en stimulant l’interprétation libre et personnelle. Les propositions présentées dans le livre peuvent rester partielles ou inachevées, tant qu’elles suscitent la discussion et l’innovation. Cette méthode, à rapprocher du genre littéraire de l’essai, permet une analyse subjective et renouvelée du monde qui nous entoure. L’atelier d’architecture devient le lieu où ressourcer sa pensée. This book presents thirty projects representative of the vast urbanistic and architectural reflection issued annually at the workshops of EPFL. Additionally to its teaching aims, the EPFL is a privileged place for research and the sharing of knowledge. The architectural project develops practically and intellectually, while being strongly supported by experience to stimulate free and personal interpretation. The proposals within this book, being incomplete or unfinished, are here to generate discussion. This approach, which comes closer to the literary genre, provides an analysis that is innovative and capable of changing our view of the world.

Literary genre
A literary genre is a category of literature. Genres may be determined by literary technique, tone, content, or length (especially for fiction). They generally move from more abstract, encompassing classes, which are then further sub-divided into more concrete distinctions. The distinctions between genres and categories are flexible and loosely defined, and even the rules designating genres change over time and are fairly unstable. Genres can all be in the form of prose or poetry.
Genre
Genre (UK: /ˈʒɑ̃ː.rə/, /ˈʒɒn.rə/; US: /ˈʒɑːn.rə/) () is any form or type of communication in any mode (written, spoken, digital, artistic, etc.) with socially-agreed-upon conventions developed over time. In popular usage, it normally describes a of literature, music, or other forms of art or entertainment, whether written or spoken, audio or visual, based on some set of stylistic criteria. Genres can be aesthetic, rhetorical, communicative, or functional.
Genre fiction
Genre fiction, also known as formula fiction or popular fiction, is a term used in the book-trade for fictional works written with the intent of fitting into a specific literary genre in order to appeal to readers and fans already familiar with that genre. A number of major literary figures have written genre fiction. John Banville publishes crime novels as Benjamin Black, and both Doris Lessing and Margaret Atwood have written science fiction.
