Abstract

The architect Émile-José Fettweiss (1927 - ) talks to two female architecture students in April 2016. He discusses his attitude towards modernism, traditionalism, the atmosphere of the profession in the 1950s and the divisions of the 1960s-1980s in Belgium, and the emergence of postmodernism, but also the various openings for architectural innovation in Wallonia and Flanders, through his professional and teaching experiences, touching on experimentation with prefabricated houses and his relationship with the A. U.S.E. and G.E.R.U. He expresses himself on questions of "spirituality", phenomenology, style, and contemporary architecture.

Author Biographies

Pauline Lepoutre

Pauline Lepoutre (Roubaix, France, 1991)
Pauline graduated as an architect from the Faculty of Architecture La Cambre Horta (ULB) in 2017.  During a gap year between her bachelor's and master's degree, she chose to deepen her knowledge of drawing by following a course for amateurs at the Beaux-Arts de Paris. She then tried to connect this discipline to the field of architecture. Her dissertation questions the role of hand sketching in architectural design as well as the connivance of the latter with the homonymy drawing/drawing. She is currently pursuing her training at Pierre Blondel Architectes.

Marine Urbain

Marine Urbain (Grenoble, France, 1994)
Marine graduated as an architect from the Faculty of Architecture La Cambre Horta (ULB) in 2017. Guided by an interest in the reasons for writing by architects and the multiple process that founds the canonical status of a written production, she dedicated her thesis to Kenneth Frampton's critical regionalism based on the analysis of the conditions of emergence of this notion. After having worked for the Contemporary Architecture Department of the CIVA Foundation as coordinator and curatorial assistant, she is now participating in the prefiguration of the art and architecture centre at the Citroën garage in Brussels, within the Kanal Foundation.
