Samenvatting

De architectuur van het Franse architectenduo Anne Lacatan en Jean-Philippe Vassal is opvallend te noemen. Opvallend, niet doordat ze gebruik maakt van grote gebaren, maar opvallend juist door haar eenvoud. Opvallend ook in de benadering van vorm en materialisering. Vorm en materiaal zijn bij Lacaton & Vassal dan ook geen verwijzing naar dieper gelegen betekenissen, maar het gevolg van een heldere afweging van kosten versus prestatie. Oppervlakkig beschouwd zou de architectuur van Lacaton & Vassal hierdoor kunnen worden opgevat als goedkope architectuur. In werkelijkheid gaat het de architecten om het tegenovergestelde. Zij betogen immers te streven naar architectuur met extra mogelijkheden voor gebruik – extra potential zoals ze het zelf noemen.
