This monograph traces his distinctive practice, from his fantastical stone villages at Castellaras le Neuf&mdash;where houses seem to grow directly out of the Proven&ccedil;al hillside&mdash;to his sensitive restorations of historic ch&acirc;teaux across the region. Blending curved walls, natural materials, and an almost anthropomorphic sense of form, Cou&euml;lle&#8217;s work defies easy categorization, standing apart from the rationalist currents of his time. Beautifully illustrated and designed as a coffee-table book, this volume is written by El&eacute;onore Marantz, a researcher at the Sorbonne specializing in twentieth-century architecture. Her text offers fresh insight into Cou&euml;lle&#8217;s singular vision, situating his work within broader questions of regionalism, craft, and organic architecture.<\/p>\n<p>Text in English and French.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Step into Jacques Cou&euml;lle&#8217;s sculptural world: fairy-tale stone villages, restored ch&acirc;teaux, and vernacular vision&mdash;this striking coffee-table monograph is written by Sorbonne architectural historian El&eacute;onore Marantz.
