Ainsi, d\u00e8s qu\u2019une \u00e9volution technique ou formelle rend l\u2019\u00e9difice impossible \u00e0 dater d\u2019une p\u00e9riode ant\u00e9rieure, on sort du pastiche.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les vrais pastiches sont d\u2019ailleurs rares : depuis un si\u00e8cle, les modes constructifs et les exigences de confort ont trop transform\u00e9 les fa\u00e7ades pour qu\u2019une illusion d\u2019\u00e9poque reste cr\u00e9dible. Qualifier de pastiche un immeuble aux terrasses et aux balcons nettement contemporains est donc peu rigoureux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pourtant, d\u00e8s qu\u2019une construction refuse la rupture ostentatoire ou assume quelques ornements, le mot r\u00e9appara\u00eet dans le but de la disqualifier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">___<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">L\u2019histoire des villes s\u2019est pourtant faite par couches successives : innover tout en traitant les styles ant\u00e9rieurs comme une ressource. Un langage h\u00e9rit\u00e9 est un pragmatisme qui reprend les savoirs et les formes ayant fait leurs preuves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dans toute discipline, s\u2019appuyer sur l\u2019ensemble des acquis, anciens ou nouveaux, va de soi. Pourtant en architecture, ce principe de continuum est r\u00e9fut\u00e9 par une corporation qui se pose le devoir de se distinguer du pass\u00e9. Ce qui n\u2019est pas tant une exigence de v\u00e9rit\u00e9 qu\u2019un dogmatisme poussant \u00e0 la table rase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">C\u2019est ainsi qu\u2019une part de la production contemporaine n\u2019a, au final, d\u2019autre m\u00e9rite que d\u2019afficher sa rupture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le d\u00e9bat architectural devrait distinguer l\u2019imitation trompeuse de la reprise critique et actualis\u00e9e d\u2019un langage.
