ANTIARQUITECTURA Y DECONSTRUCCION

An anthology of articles and essays on Nicaraguan art, architecture and music, by one of the nation's most noted 20th century poets and authors (1912-2002).

"The book examines the life and architectonic and didactic legacy of noted architect O'Gorman (b. Mexico) with critical texts by expert scholars regarding some of his ideas on the aesthetics of architecture with a special emphasis in public primary schools. Includes a reprint of the booklet titled "Escuelas Primarias 1932" by O'Gorman as a report while working for the Mexican Ministry of Education (SEP) of the construction of 28 public primary schools in Mexico City."--Provided by vendor.

For the first time ever a monograph dedicated to the temporary projects and personal designs created by world-renowned architect Enric Miralles.A quick perusal of the pages makes it patently clear that for Miralles the word temporary could never be synonymous with minor. From the design of the pergolas in the Olympic Village in Barcelona to the changing sets of an Opera that premiered in his own studio each work is a celebration of space, time and movement. 16 projects are featured.

El libro constituye un buen resumen de un debate entablado a lo largo del siglo xix y, fundamentalmente, el siglo xx. La relación entre interior y exterior, la verdad o falsedad del ornamento, la calidad estructural de las fachadas... Un debate capital en la Historia de la Arquitectura Contemporánea, que los autores estudian y analizan en la obra de algunos grandes arquitectos de estos dos siglos: Loos, Wrigst, Wagner, Hoffmann, Mies o Le Corbusier, entre otros.
