Barcelona 1992-2004

Resumen del Libro

Barcelona 1992-2004 offers a selection of chronologically arranged projects that provide an overview of the period that commences with the 1992 Olympic Games and culminates in the huge cultural event that is the Universal Forum of Cultures-Barcelona 2004. The selection has focused in particular on projects involving the city’s openness to the sea and those which have managed to adapt to its existing residential fabric. Presented as separate chapters are projects for new high-rise buildings and schemes for the 22@ plan and the Universal Forum of Cultures. The selection is preceded by a text by William J. R. Curtis, in which he explains how the development of Barcelona in recent years can be set within policies of a more international kind, followed by an exhaustive urbanistic analysis of the city of Barcelona over the last few decades by Josep Maria Montaner. Photographs by Eva Serrats. With full-colour photographs of the city and plans and illustrations of some of the structures, this volume is a comprehensive guide to Barcelona’s contemporary urban structures.

Escritos sobre arquitectura religiosa contemporanea

Este libro es una recopilación de escritos dedicados a la arquitectura religiosa contemporánea, es decir, la producida en el entorno de los últimos cien años. Todos ellos han sido publicados previamente y han sido revisados para la presente edición.

Uno de los problemas más delicados que han afrontar la arquitectura religiosa occidental en el arranque de este nuevo milenio es la identidad del ...

Paulo Mendes Da Rocha

This book revolves around the drawings and scale models especially selected by architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha, who was conferred the degree of Doctorate Honoris Causa by the Universidad Nacional del Litoral in 2009. The personal selection done by PMdR resulted in a publishing project that included the participation of a group of academics from Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina convened so that, by means of short texts, freely elaborated their perspective on those drawings. The book is, therefore, the result of a collective work whose purpose is to think the architecture from its most common...

Sancho-Madridejos

"Taking over the baton from their mentor and friend Eduardo Chillida, the architects Juan Carlos Sancho (San Sebastián, 1957) and Sol Madridejos (Madrid, 1958) have pursued a sensitive dialectic between matter and void that lies at the foundations of a fertile formal laboratory, one where the fold is an instrument with great potential in the attainment of structural, spatial, and material coherence. In these pages Arquitectura Viva presents a selection of four Spanish works – ranging from a small chapel to a large educational complex – in which the duo composes variations on the same...

Observatorio de la vivienda urbana en Manizales, Caldas

Colombia Este libro aborda, de manera original y con un reconocido rigor metodológico, el estudio de las condiciones constructivas de la vivienda urbana que se promocionó en la ciudad de Manizales (centro occidente de Colombia) en un marco temporal de cinco años, haciendo uso de la llamada "minería de datos". Superando las miradas que sobre la vivienda ponen su foco de interés en aspectos puramente tipológicos o de ejecución de obra, el autor logra aquí establecer indicadores cuantitativos que relacionan claramente los atributos espaciales de las viviendas analizadas con sus...
