Providing a new insight into twentieth-century architecture, this is the first book in English on the work of French architect Fernand Pouillon (1912-1986). It includes Jacques Lucan's analysis of his post-war urbanism and its critique of mainstream modernism, a description of material construction by Adam Caruso, and a text by Pouillon himself reflecting on the contemporary architect's position in a cultural continuum. At the book's heart lie survey drawings and photographs of Pouillon's key Parisian housing projects.

Fernand Pouillon was an architect, urban planner, building contractor, teacher, publisherand writer – his novel Les pierres sauvages is a worldwide bestseller. Jacques Lucan is an architect, historian and architectural critic, and Professor at EPFLausanne and EAVT (Marne-la-Vallé). His great interest lies in 20th-century and contemporary urban issues.

He holds a Chair of Architecture and Construction at ETH Zurich. Helen Thomas studied architecture at Liverpool University and has a PhD in Art History and Theory from the University of Essex.
