Résumé:

With his light Tech approach Richard Horden aimes at creating a style of architecture without weight, open and light. He draws his inspiration from yachts, aircrafts and cars whose forms are not burdened by tradition and history as the forms of architecture are, rather they are determined by the fast-moving development of technology. This also influences Richard Horden's designs which range from the design of furniture to residential buildings, office buildings and bridges.
This monograph is the first comprehensive study to be devoted to the wide spectrum of Richard Horden's oeuvre. It shows how the opening of space as introduced by Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe were continued by Richard Horden to create a new architecture characterised by mobility, openness and transparency.
