A rich monograph by an architect and professor of architecture. Gottfried Semper's writings on architecture have met with widespread acclaim in recent years. Contemporary architects are interested in his conception of the relationship between wall and structure and the role that decoration plays in architecture. His "principle of cladding" is generating new interest, particularly among those who reflect on the expression of the facade. His writings thus mark contemporary architecture, and one can cite as an example of a theoretical and practical confrontation, in France, the work of Bernard Cache and his firm Objectile, who presented a "Semper Pavilion" in 1998 as part of Archilab. At the same time, their knowledge remains essential for anyone interested in the history of architecture and art in the 19th and 20th centuries. They therefore concern a dual readership: that of architects and historians.
