L architecte Auguste Perret (1874-1954), précurseur du mouvement moderne en France, a défini les fondements d une nouvelle architecture pour le XXe siècle. Son travail a été profondément influencé par la technique de construction de l ossature en béton armé. À l instar de la rue de l immeuble du 25 bis, rue Franklin à Paris, réalisé en 1903, il a su réinventer l utilisation du béton, matériau considéré jusque-là comme banal et industriel, et lui a conféré une nouvelle esthétique. Le Corbusier voyait d ailleurs dans cet édifice « un avant-goût du goût moderne ».

Summary:
This book is the first to focus on Ossipoff's career, presenting significant new material on the architect and situating him within the tropical modernist movement and the cultural context of the Pacific region. The authors discuss how Ossipoff synthesized Eastern and Western influences, including Japanese building techniques and modern inspiration from the interplay of indoor and outdoor space as advocated by such architect as Frank Lloyd Wright, applying these to the concerns and vernacular traditions of the tropics. The result was a vibrant and glamorous architectural style, which is captured vividly in this volume in archival images and new photography.
