LIVING SUBJECTS
Gathered together in the exhibition “Matières Vivantes”, the three design research-experiments “Wool Wall”, “Back to dirt” and “Carreaux de papier” innovate by bringing together living fabrics and inanimate objects. Led by Matérial Studies, studio Aléa and Pavillon Noir with César Bazaar, the projects question production processes to reduce energy impact and the use of resources, and in so doing unleash the technical and aesthetic potential of materials derived from available organic matter.

MAISON LA ROCHE – FONDATION LE CORBUSIER
ANTRETEMPS, an exhibition by MATALI CRASSET. This fantasy (a literary genre of fiction) unfolds in the spaces of the Maison La Roche, Le Corbusier’s firstpurist house. It presents a community that moves to a place where the earth’s habitable conditions have deteriorated. It sets out to make resilience possible, and then its mutation around concrete projects. The community’s great capacity for learning, and the creation of a network of mutual support, enable it to change its system of reference and thinking very quickly. This creation by matali crasset reveals a little-known aspect of her work, notably digital drawing, a practice she has been developing since 2007.

APPARTEMENT-ATELIER DE LE CORBUSIER
The apartment-studio occupies the top two floors of a totally innovative building designed between 1931 and 1934 by Le Corbusier and his partner Pierre Jeanneret. By building eight storeys of entirely glazed façades, he created the first glass apartment block. The 240m2 duplex flat houses Le Corbusier’s home and painting studio. Bathed in light and open to nature, it incorporates the elements of his architectural language: the free plan, the long glazed sections, the roof terrace, the polychromy, and the huge pivoting doors that partition the space as much as they fluidify it.
DELCOURT COLLECTION
From the designer to the craftsman, the hand marks the beginning of the story. It brings a design to life, and illuminates the material with its infinitely subtle expertise. A demanding and singular approach is reflected in a lively catalogue that is very much of its time.
