Jean Prouvé & Jean Nouvel: Ferembal House documents a rare cross-generational collaboration in which Jean Nouvel reinterprets Jean Prouvé’s mid-20th-century ideas about industrialized, prefabricated housing for the Ferembal steel company. The book traces how Prouvé’s principles—structural honesty, lightweight metal construction, modular components, and social ambition—are translated into a contemporary architectural language by Nouvel, resulting in a prototype house that is both a technical object and an architectural manifesto. Through drawings, photographs, and commentary, the project is presented as a dialogue between past and present, showing how modern architecture can evolve without nostalgia, while reaffirming the enduring relevance of Prouvé’s belief that architecture should be efficient, adaptable, and rooted in industrial logic.
