A circle, a round, a square: these elementary geometric shapes were chosen by the typographer, town planner and architect Pierre Faucheux (1924-1999) to signify three practices that each, in their own way, question space. He moved from one to the other with passion, seeking to systematise, as he put it, a “writing of space” that this book explores.

The book explores Pierre Faucheux’s various trajectories in an attempt to understand the back-and-forth between writing about space and the architecture of the book; between reading spaces and reading spaces.

This publication looks back at the history of the artistic director at Livre de Poche, who also worked with a large number of French publishers during the Trente Glorieuses : J.-J. Pauvert, Éditions Joëlle Losfeld, Le Seuil, Éditions Galilée.

Pierre Faucheux accompanied Robert Delpire in the creation of the magazine NEUF in 1950 and his publishing house three years later.

Above all, the book opens up a lesser-known part of Faucheux’s career, that of his adventures with the Surrealists, his practice of photo-collage and his architectural experiments. Reading Pierre Faucheux’s practice of space is done here by sharing voices, including his own, and by observing objects whose memory weaves a rich and plural whole.
