Summary:

"Comment devient-on architecte au XIXe siècle ? Comment et pourquoi cette profession apparaît-elle en Suisse romande ? Quel fut son importance dans l'émergence de la Suisse moderne ? Alors que l'architecte est aujourd'hui une figure indissociable du paysage urbain et une profession au statut incontesté, comment ce statut s'est-il mis en place ? Ce livre, première synthèse retraçant l'histoire de la profession d'architecte en Suisse romande, décrit la transformation radicale d'un métier aux contours mal définis vers 1800 en une profession emblématique de la société du XXe siècle. Parallèlement à la définition formelle de sa profession par des contraintes réglementaires et académiques (diplômes, contrats-types, sociétés, revues), l'architecte parvient à élargir le cercle de ses clients, touchant tant la grande bourgeoisie que les milieux ouvriers. L'architecture devient accessible à une masse très large de la population. Ce mouvement quasi-révolutionnaire a profondément modifié le paysage urbain et l'architecte devient, autour de 1900, le régisseur d'un nouveau mode de vie. En retraçant le parcours de ses principaux acteurs, cet ouvrage nous livre ainsi une histoire inédite de la profession d'architecte en Suisse romande de 1800 à 1940."--P. 4 of cover.
