The final part of the complete work, volume 4 is largely devoted to Les Arcs, a Savoyard winter and summer leisure resort that can accommodate more than 25,000 people. For more than twenty years, Charlotte Perriand, pioneer of bioclimatic architecture, has been responsible for the urban and architectural design of Arc 1600 and Arc 1800, in collaboration with a team of architects that she leads. It also designs the interior architecture of more than 4,500 homes, being involved right down to the choice of the teaspoon. This exceptional work is part of his research on mountain housing for the majority while respecting the site and the landscape. His latest creations illustrate his genius for pushing back walls for an art of living that embodies a new art of living. The tributes and retrospectives which crown 70 years of creation underline her status as a visionary woman from whom everyone can draw lessons for the future.
