Identifying more than 90 developments, the book offers a detailed and analytical presentation of more than 45 interior design projects, both private and public. It reveals the evolution of Pierre Chareau's approach to interior design, from his beginnings as a decorator integrating his furniture into existing spaces, to the advent, over the course of projects, of a resolutely architectural approach to space, in which furniture comes to life and becomes architecture in its own right. This second volume also looks back at his participation in the CIAM (International Council for the Study of Modern Architects) as well as the Société des architectes modernes (Society of Modern Architects) and the Rassemblement des architectes (Assembly of Architects), as well as his collaboration with the magazine L'Architecture d'aujourd'hui (Architecture of Today). It offers a critical analysis of the work of Pierre Chareau the architect, deciphering the 14 projects he worked on, in France from 1923 to 1938, then in the United States from 1945 to 1950, from Djemil Anik's cabin to Robert Motherwell's studio in East Hampton.
Finally, this book offers an in-depth analysis of the Glass House. By portraying Jean Dalsace and his wife Annie, it helps us understand the central role of the sponsors in this project. It revisits the architectural and societal context of the time, explaining the importance of light and hygiene in the Glass House. The construction site and its vicissitudes are recreated before describing the main principles that governed the design of the house, followed by an analysis of its volumes and spaces.
