Stéphanie Dadour is associate professor of history and theory of architecture at the École nationale supérieure d’architecture de Grenoble. She is a member of Laboratoire des Métiers de l’Histoire de l’Architecture (ENSAG) and of Laboratoire Architecture, Culture et Société (ENSA Paris-Malaquais UMR AUSser).
Les dix contributions rassemblées dans l’ouvrage s’attachent à éclairer, non le XXe siècle, mais une période particulièrement cruciale de l’histoire du logement (entre 1920 et 1960), de la crise aiguë qui caractérise l’entre-deux-guerres à la production de masse des années de croissance en passant par les problématiques spécifiques de la reconstruction. Elles montrent de manière particulièrement explicite la manière dont l’exposition d’architecture, souvent parée de vertus didactiques comme le rappelle Eva Storgaard, va s’imposer comme un efficace outil de promotion des politiques et des actions publiques, mais aussi de fixation et de circulation des modèles et des typologies.
