“Réparer” la Villa Kutter (book)

Description

The ‘restoration’ of Villa Kutter offers a balanced and contemporary approach to heritage. Rather than imposing a new architectural language, the project draws, following extensive historical research, on a precise understanding of the existing context to guide the interventions. It demonstrates that a transformation can be both respectful and contemporary, by focusing on continuity rather than rupture. In a context where the reuse of existing buildings is becoming essential, the project serves as an example of an intervention where architecture supports the evolution of the site without erasing its identity. The book, documenting the whole process was launched in 2024.
