This monograph presents all the projects made or designed by Philippe Rahm (1967) and Jean-Gilles Décosterd (1963) in the past few years around the theme of "distortion". Their approach consists in taking hold of time and space as of a material for architecture and exploring the emptiness spectrum and the density of the bodies. Hormonal cities, physiological gardens, melatonin chambers, high altitude environments, Placebo painting: architecture here becomes an energy field crossed by temporal faults and geographic gaps.
