French architecture is on the brink of change. If Rationalist tendencies achieve critical mass, they could prove the catalyst for a dynamic and significant cultural moment. Joseph Abram describes some of the buildings that display the full ‘spectrum of possibilities’ of the reasoned approach in France, from the urban poetics of Patrick Berger to the typological and technological pragmatism of Jacques Ferrier.
