Dieser Band präsentiert und dokumentiert die letzten 15 realisierten Bauten und eine Auswahl von 12 Projekten des Büros Devanthéry und Lamunière, u.a. die rechtswissenschaftliche Bibliothek Fleuret in Lausanne, die psychiatrische Klinik in Yverdon, das Hotel Guisan in Bern und die Villa Beck in Rolle. In ihren Werken bringen die beiden Schweizer Architekten unterschiedliche Konzeptionen der Moderne zusammen: Elemente einer expressiven und einer rationalen Architektur werden durch geometrische Bezüge miteinander vereint, Linien der äußeren Gestalt ins Innere projiziert und umgekehrt.
