After the first volume was published in 2009 under the title Jean-Yves Barrier. Architect and Urbanist / Architecte et Urbaniste, which documented 25 years of his architectural practice, this second volume is dedicated to architectural and artistic projects since the mid-2000s. While the first volume focused on architectural and urbanistic projects, this second volume presents not only 25 new architectural
projects of Barrier, but also a completely different facet of his work: the relationship
between architecture and art. In this context, »folding« becomes a fundamental
concept that can be applied from design objects to art installations in public spaces and architecture.
