Formidablement illustre, cest ouvrage presente une collection de fragments discontinus: textes, interview, maquettes, dessins, photos...nous plonge au coeur de son oeuvre. - ARCHISTROM Author InformationYona Friedman Born in 1923 in Budapest (Hungary).Lives and works in Paris (France). Yona Friedman rose to prominence with his manifesto L'Architecture Mobile and his idea for La Ville Spatiale. He aimed to provide maximum flexibility through huge 'superstructures' over existing cities and other locations. Future inhabitants were free to construct their dwellings within these structures. Friedman's ideas led him to go beyond architecture. His sphere of engagement broadened to include sociology, economics, mathematics, information science, planning, visual art and film-making. Although Friedman's oeuvre would seem to encompass a wide field, all his life he has adhered to principles based on the requirement of individual freedom. In embracing the unpredictability of human behaviour, he has always sought to provide people with the knowledge and structures to determine their own living environment. Among the means devised by Friedman were manuals that illustrate basic skills in the fields of architecture, urban planning and administration for the non-specialist.
