Architecture for Disquiet Bodies

Architecture for Disquiet Bodies offers a comprehensive overview of more than twenty-five years of unique creations by artist-architect Didier Fiuza Faustino. The book is an opportunity to place Didier Fiuza Faustino’s work in the context of the most contemporary ideas, experiences and forms. The objective of this book-manifesto places the body at the centre of all the concerns of an architect without scale. The publication is divided into three main parts. The first is designed as a magazine with real fake advertisements created by Faustino’s Bureau des Mesarchitectures. The second focuses on the agency’s manifesto projects. The third part shows the realisations. Between these parts, the manifesto texts of the agency and of various invited authors will be inserted to analyse and put into perspective the work of Didier Fiuza Faustino and his team. AUTHOR: Didier Fiuza Faustino is an artist-architect working on the relationship between body and space. He started his own practice just after graduating in architecture in 1995. Since then, he has been developing a multi-faceted approach, ranging from installation to experimentation, from visual art to the creation of multi-sensorial spaces, mobile architecture and buildings. 200 illustrations
