After the first volume was published in 2009

under the title Jean-Yves Barrier. Architect and

Urbanist / Architecte et Urbaniste, which documented

25 years of his architectural practice,

this second volume is dedicated to architectural

and artistic projects since the mid-2000s.

It presents not only 25 new architectural projects of

Barrier, but also a completely different facet of his work:

the relationship between architecture and art and the

the astonishing variety of architectural typologies that

Barrier deals with in his current oeuvre.

Barrier never adopts a repetitive or doctrinaire

attitude, but develops new solutions for each project,

which can be found in his ideal lexicon of constants .

This is particularly true for the permanent search for

urban coherence for the most varied interventions:

in city centres, in derelict industrial zones

or in diffuse peri-urban spaces. Contemporary

garden cities, condensed and compact assemblies,

collages or the interweaving with what exists

represent possibilities for Barrier to requalify

and redevelop forgotten or abandoned urban situations

with contemporary architecture.

Elke Mittmann is an art historian. She studied

at the Universities Paris-IV-Sorbonne and Leipzig

and holds a doctorate. After working for many

years at the Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau, she has

been director of the Maison de l'architecture

Centre - Val de Loire in Orléans since 2011 and

is currently teaching at the École nationale supérieure

d'architecture de Strasbourg.
