This book is dedicated to Hervé Baley (1933-2010) and Dominique Zimbacca (1928-2011), two atypical architects who produced a body of work that is original, full of strong convictions, but little known.
Pupils of the ateliers libres at the École des beaux-arts between 1950 and 1954, they opposed the dogmatism of modern architecture and the influence of Le Corbusier, and it was in the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, which was slowly spreading in France, that they forged their hope in sensitive architecture.
For Baley and Zimbacca, single-family housing was the testing ground for an organic conception of architecture and, despite constant material difficulties, they built around twenty houses and buildings, mainly in the Ile-de-France region, between 1959 and 2000.
