Cette deuxieme edition des Cahiers du Laboratoire d'Etude de l'Architecture Potentielle propose une reflexion sur l'un des problemes centraux du Mouvement moderne et de la critique postmoderne: la tension entre l'heteronomie et l'autonomie en architecture.
Aborde a l'aide d'un texte peu connu de Stanford Anderson, le theme invitait chacun, chacune a penser l'architecture entre profession et discipline, entre heteronomie et autonomie ou entre histoire interne et externe. Cette proposition aura permis de mettre en valeur la diversite des approches constituantes du L.E.A.P.
Afin de tisser des liens originaux entre les propositions des auteurs, ce numero regroupe 15 essais en quatre themes: le debat entre heteronomie et autonomie, les contraintes et libertes de la creation architecturale, la pensee sur l'autonomie disciplinaire et la quete d'autonomies alternatives. Retrospectivement, une demande d'elargissement et de renouvellement des cadres herites des approches recentes est devenu le fil conducteur de cette publication.
Les essais revelent la coexistence de points de vue distincts et coherents, qui chacun a leur maniere exprime avec insistance un desir de penser l'architecture autrement. Il s'agit d'une orientation qui, nous l'esperons saura capter l'interet des lecteurs et lectrices.

This second edition of the LEAP Research Notebooks examines one of the central problems of the Modern Movement and of its subsequent postmodern critique: the tension between heteronomy and autonomy in architecture.
Broached with an often overlooked proposition of Stanford Anderson, the theme offered the research group an opportunity to think architecture between profession and discipline, between heteronomy and autonomy, and between internal and external history. This proposal helped to bring forward the contrasting methods of the members of LEAP.
In order to weave connections between the authors’ outlooks, this issue groups 15 essays in four thematic blocks: The Debate Between Heteronomy and Autonomy, Constraints and Freedom in Architectural Creation, Thinking Disciplinary Autonomy, and The Search for Alternative Autonomies.
Retrospectively, a demand for an extension and a renewal of the frameworks received from recent approaches has become the red thread of this publication.
The essays reveal the coexistence of distinct and coherent outlooks in which LEAP researchers insistently express a desire to think architecture differently. It is an orientation, we hope, that will arouse the interest of readers.
