The remarkably prolific career of an innovative young Chilean architect is profiled in this engaging study. Born in 1965 and in professional practice since 1991, this architect's impact on his native landscape is observed mainly in a series of private houses located in some of the most sublime sites in Chile. The forceful yet austere character of his design approach and its radical relationship to surrounding landscape elements can be fully appreciated by viewing this book's fine pictorial panorama.

The present research work is based on original manuscripts and testimonies from architect González Gortázar (b. Mexico) regarding his transcendent architecture and urban designs. González Gortázar is considered at present one of the most important architects of México, creator of spaces and urban art that are now geometric symbols and references of the city of Guadalajara in México. The architect strongly practices the concept of "Space and Art" and where the city should never loose their social function for which it was originally conceived and constructed.

La Composición arquitectónica, entendida como el conjunto de disciplinas que configuran el substraigo teórico sobre el que se asienta la práctica de la arquitectura, se va organizando a partir de estas piezas, en cierta medida autónomas, asentando de este modo el saber de la arquitectura.
