-Centro Fisac-Soria. Propuesta para un espacio museístico dedicado a la obra de Miguel Fisac. More inquiries about this proposal please talk with, Javier Rodríguez Cabello @Javieringio  ES +  

-“..La llamativa y destruida “pagoda” era el elemento singular de un conjunto de gran racionalidad en el que la torre de despachos de dirección debía servir como reclamo a quienes circulaban por la N-II. Cada planta rectangular aparecía girada 45º respecto a la inferior, y se relacionaba con sectores de paraboloides hiperbólicos, que le daban ese aspecto oriental que identificó la obra de mayor atrevimiento formal de la ciudad..” +

Generic Specific Continuum Julio Salcedo / Scalar Architecture

Foreword by Luis Rojo de Castro Text by Julio Salcedo Essay by Ivan Rupnik Edited by Oscar Riera Ojeda

This book presents the work of the Spanish architect Julio Salcedo in a series of built and speculative projects. Salcedo’s houses, early achievements that stunned both academic and professional circles with their fresh originality and precocious sophistication, are presented along with unpublished competition proposals for large-scale buildings.

The projects’ varying locales, scales, and ambitions all demonstrate a commitment to architecture as a conceptual medium with the capacity to tackle complex ideas as well as a material practice of transformative, worldly practicality. Each is a built essay that works through architectural problems of form, construction, and material to archive thought-provoking resolutions of a difIcult yet satisfying beauty.

The book complements a thorough graphic documentation of selected projects with Salcedo’s own writings and critical essays by Luis Rojo de Castro and Ivan Rupnik. They situate the projects in Salcedo’s multi-faceted conceptual and professional world and place them in the context of the constellation of ideas that currently shape and propel the eld. “Julio Salcedo’s ongoing interest in landscape and urban design has informed his architectural work, producing a rich, invested and responsible practice. In all, I believe his work illustrates his ambition to inform even modest architectural projects with broader issues present in contemporary practice, something that I believe speaks highly for his intense and profound interest in design.” Rafael Moneo.

Campo Baeza Complete Works

Foreword by Richard Meier Introduction by Jesus Aparicio Interview by Manuel Blanco Epilogue by David Chipper Edited by Oscar Riera Ojeda

This monograph presents one of the most unique voices in contemporary architecture whose collection of built work makes a compelling case, with some help from Hisao Suzuki’s photography, for the power of radical simplicity. Included amongst the projects featured are the Andalucia Museum of Memory and Caja Granada, two contiguous buildings united in a quiet yet monumental about Granada, and its history, as well as other instant classics such as the Asencio Gaspar, and Turegano houses.

All share a basic dedication to simple composition with unadorned masses and show Baeza’s uncompromising exercise of disciplined restraint in achieving architectural silence, his laconic answer to the deafening noise of the contemporary city. The projects explored in the book span four decades of an international architectural practice. Contributions by Richard Meyer, Jesus Aparicio, Kenneth Frampton, and Manuel Blanco offer critical commentary on Baeza’s persistent quest for beauty and relevance by means of simplicity.

The House of the Infinite Alberto Campo Baeza (Masterpiece Series)

Hardcover

 We have built the most radical house we have ever made, an in nite plane facing the in nite sea. A house facing the Atlantic Ocean, at the water’s edge on a beach of Cadiz, like a piece of earthly paradise, where the Romans once lived in nearby Bolonia. We built a powerful podium in Roman travertine whose upper horizontal plane becomes the protagonist of the space. Inside the podium, underneath this platform like a temenos, is the house. Above and behind the stony platform, we have erected stone walls to protect us from the strong prevailing winds. As if it were an acropolis. A temenos where the gods descend to converse with humans and toast with Sherry on this plane on high looking out onto the in nite sea. The house of the infinite.

City of Arts & Sciences in #Valencia #Spain by spanish #architect Santiago Calatrava. the city of arts and sciences by santiago calatrava is a renowned cultural and architectural complex in the city of valencia, constructed in 1996 on the former riverbed of turia. ‘following catastrophic flooding in 1957, the river was diverted in the southern section of the city and the old riverbed, now dry, was used to create a ten kilometre long park crossing the city centre. there, it was decided to locate the new complex on flat land, at the right bank of the final stretch of what was once the river turia’, as explained by the members of the city of arts and sciences. 📸 by Joel Filipe .
