Abstract :
[en] In 1960, some architects questionned the « Charte d’Athènes » and its principles. They explored the language of architecture in some Congress and took the name of Team X. During their meeting they tried to take into account the potential of different finding in sciences. The architects of the Team X group who intervened in France where mostly influenced by structuralist apprach of Levi-Strauss an the biologist François Jacob. In his book la logique du vivant , Jacob introduced some concepts, some vocabulary words which inspired architects. These terms, this architectural grammar is : fabric, cells, DNA, 3d structure. Candilis-Wood-Josic were influenced by Jacob’s book and radio conference at that time and did some projects around theses formal analogies. In our point of view, like Jean Renaudie said, biology findings influenced his vision of the society and contributed to question architecture, its forms, its vocabulary. For us, biological analogies following Jean-Pierre Chupin decription, contributed mostly to the development of the neo avant-garde in the 1960’s in France and the different constructions we can see in the french landscape marked the architectural theory and is widely reused nowadays. Through these conference, we want to demonstrate that hypothesis trhough the work of l’Atelier de Montrouge in which Jean Renaudie worked.
