Roger Tallibert: Constructions 1

By Alain Orlandini

The first volume of a series dedicated to architect Roger Taillibert, this superbly illustrated monograph recalls the many different aspects of his work. Charting a career that spans over four decades and features major achievements such as the Montreal Olympic complex and the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris, this history shows how Taillibert proved a visionary who explored and redefined the very notion of large-scale volumes, standing unafraid to stir controversy by using thin shells, moveable textile roofs and prefabricated elements.
