Cet ouvrage présente cinquante femmes architectes et leurs œuvres les plus importantes, avec autant d'architectes aux carrières bien établies que de jeunes architectes émergentes. Accompagnée de brèves biographies, d'interviews sur leur philosophie, leur vision et leurs réalisations, cette enquête offre des preuves inspirantes que la profession d'architecte n'est plus seulement un jeu d'hommes. Des entretiens avec plusieurs architectes offrent une perspective globale sur la façon dont les femmes changent la face du monde, y compris l’icône féministe, philanthrope et « starchitecte » nigériane Olajumoke Adenowo ; Tatiana Bilbao, qui ouvre la voie à l’architecture mexicaine durable; Rossana Hu, qui se bat pour préserver la culture villageoise chinoise dans son pays qui s’urbanise rapidement; et Elizabeth Diller, qui a créé la High Line, l’un des espaces publics les plus appréciés de New York, et a aidé à réaménager le Museum of Modern Art de la ville.

For many of us, our sofa is our favourite piece of furniture. But nowadays, with living space increasingly limited, our sofa often plays more than one role in the home. It becomes a decorative centrepiece, allowing us to put our own stamp on our living space; it may extend a child's play area or double up as a bed. As a result, we have become demanding about every aspect of design. We expect multifunctionality, originality in form, and materials that are practical and long-lasting. This generously illustrated volume celebrates the creativity of more than 160 designers and brings together the very best in sofa design from the 20th and 21st centuries. As well as design icons by the likes of Josef Hoffmann, Eileen Gray, Le Corbusier and Arne Jacobsen, it showcases the most inventive creations of recent years from designers who continue to redefine and expand this field of design. With profiles arranged alphabetically by designer, the book comes complete with practical advice on buying a sofa and styling a living space, and includes a timeline of sofa design. This treasure trove of exciting creations and handy tips will appeal to anyone in search of inspiration for their own home, or with an interest in furniture design in general.
