His first home was designed for himself as a studio with maximum solar exposure. He had since created homes, office buildings, city halls, train and fire stations, even bridges. His work is exemplified by an emphasis on environmental needs rather than a strict style. This splendid study of some of Barrier's most exciting work includes not only photographs but schematics and floor plans. The pictures often show the buildings in the context of their environment. Each project is explained in both French and English, describing the circumstances of the assignment and the ways in which Barrier adapted his design to meet individual needs.
