This monograph retraces the entire architectural output of Alain Sarfati, a major figure in contemporary archi-tecture. Richly illustrated with 300 photographs, plans and models, it provides an overview of Sarfati's most emblematic projects, including the renovation of the ThéâtredelaCité – CDN Toulouse Occitanie, Assas Uni-versity in Paris and the French Embassy in Beijing. A visionary architect, Alain Sarfati stands out for his ability to create “situated” architecture, always in dialogue with its context, whether it be social housing (rue Schoelcher in Paris), public facilities (the Scarabée in Roanne) or international projects (the French Embassy in Beijing). He rejects the shackles of trends and favours a diverse, eclectic approach, based on deep reflection, nourished by an insatiable curiosity for places, landscapes and buildings. His style, free of any formal limitations, combines intellectual rigour with an assumed sense of fantasy. This tension between self-discipline and creative freedom gives rise to a singular body of work brimming with inventiveness.
