Abstract
Through experience, Dominique Lyon has learned an architectural pragmatism based on a very strict analysis of the elements specific to each situation (subject, client, budget, program and the normative, political, social and cultural context). Facing the tensions, absurdities and the triteness of the real, the architect relies on words, the only material up to the task of bringing all the complexity of his projects to the surface. Wrecker of convention and authoritative metadiscourse, which merely generate consensual, misinformed and repetitive architecture, In this book he outlines his method of architectural conception.
