French term or phrase: production œuvre
Hello,

"Fondé sur l’analyse de sa production œuvre (bâtie ou théorique), ce livre montre l’imposture du créateur, le caractère totalitaire de ses projets et la misère spatiale qu'il a engendrée"

Ce livre a pour but de démasquer un soi-disant architecte..

Any idea how to translate this?

Thank you for your time.

Explanation:
Unless I'm missing some subtlety, this is really saying the same thing twice; I suppose "œuvre" is there to make it clear that it means his output as an architect, but this is clearly understood in context anyway, and the same goes for "output", which I think is better than "production" here: nobody is going to suppose that it means his output of anything else.
