Description

Vision of recent buildings and projects from one of the most outstanding European architectural practices, also presented from a multilayered critic panel. to 2015, divided in types and thoroughly explained. Presenting architectural works at the time when they were been done is a critical question to understand, by specific practices, trends into our contemporarity. This book presents a full description of the projects by reelaborated materials (plans, texts, photos) producing a network able to transmit the qualities of the real architecture. Di erent contributions are theoretical. Coming from preeminent academicians, expand the arguments passing from the single cases to a category. With contributions of Erwin Viray, Manel Colominas, Richard Sco er and Laurent Stalder.
