Ensemble Chauderon - AAA

Meer over het boek

The Immeubles Chauderon complex, built between 1969 and 1974 as an administrative center for the capital of Vaud, is one of the most remarkable buildings of its time in Switzerland. Its prominent location, complex traffic and pathway designs, iconic facades made of shiny aluminum developed in collaboration with Jean Prouvé, and the central car-free square make this work by Atelier des Architectes Associées (AAA) an iconic urban element of the 1970s. The book provides a comprehensive documentation of the building complex through historical plans, drawings, and photographs, illustrating how the ensemble is integrated into the urban fabric. It also addresses its appropriation by users and its media impact.
