[.es] La figura del mecenazgo industrial de los grandes exponentes arquitectónicos desde finales del siglo XIX constituye una constante que merece especial atención. Este libro se integra precisamente en el estudio de las relaciones que se establecen entre empresa y vivienda a partir de un caso concreto: los encargos realizados en la Europa de entreguerras entre Jan Antonin Bat’a, un industrial checo comprometido con la producción industrial y con las condiciones de vida de sus trabajadores, y el estudio Jeannerret-Le Corbusier. Se trata de un ejemplo en el que la empresa de calzados Segarra asumió en la ciudad de la Vall d’Uixó en la década de los años cuarenta del siglo XX, como parte de su crecimiento y beneficio, la generación de una vivienda digna y de calidad para sus trabajadores no solo como estrategia empresarial, sino también como mejora para sus habitantes en consonancia con los poderes públicos establecidos.

[.es] Examinar la arquitectura de los pantanos en España, un país que cuenta con más de 1.500 presas que condicionan el paisaje y el territorio, equivale a hacer un análisis global de la orografía de la península ibérica: forma, relieve, cuencas... Los pantanos analizados en este libro han sido seleccionados y jerarquizados atendiendo a diez aspectos que permiten clasificarlos en diferentes familias; de esta manera, los nombres que recogen los capítulos dedicados a cada caso dan cuenta de las diferentes perspectivas empleadas para abordarlos: el lugar en el que estas colosales obras se han levantado, su construcción, los avatares sufridos, entre otros. El objetivo final del volumen, que contiene múltiples dibujos de plantas y secciones, es facilitar al lector una serie de herramientas que permita abordar la forma, estructura, técnica y materialidad de esta manera de almacenar y administrar el agua.

Since the mid-1990s, when China allowed its architects to practice independently from government-run design institutes, a new kind of architecture, distinguished by unique regional characteristics, has emerged. China Dialogues is a rigorously selected collection of insightful interviews that the book's author Vladimir Belogolovsky has conducted with 21 leading Chinese architects during his extensive travels in China. At the time when so many buildings that are being built around the world are no longer rooted in their place and culture, the leading Chinese architects succeeded collectively in producing unique architectural body of work that could not be confused with any other regional school. The interviews are accompanied by over 120 photographs and drawings of beautifully executed projects built throughout China since early 2000s. China Dialogues opens up the thinking process of the country's top architects, as they share their ideas, insights, intentions, and visions in unusually revealing and candid ways.

[.en] Jo Noero is a South African architect. He made his name internationally during Apartheid, working for NGOs, Desmond Tutu and the Anglican Church on schools, community centers, churches, and homes in the townships, most notably in Soweto. With the coming of democracy, the scope of Noero’s work broadened to include offices, public buildings, schools, and the homes of some of South Africa’s leading struggle heroes, business leaders, and arts personalities. Noero has completed over 200 buildings and is most known for The Red Location Precinct in New Brighton, a township in Port Elizabeth. This was named the Best Building in the World at the 2013 Icon Awards in London, while The Red Location Museum won the Lubetkin Prize in 2006 for the Most Outstanding Building Outside the EU, as well as The Dedallo Minosse President’s Award, The RIBA International Award, and a World Leadership Award for Public Architecture. This publication covers the entire career of Jo Noero, spanning from the initial works to today, and, while providing a portrait of the changing environment of South Africa, offer a comprehensive insight into the professional ethos and disciplinary approach of Noeroarchitects to the design of the built environment.

[.en] While the grandiosity of Fallingwater and elegance of Taliesin are recognized universally, Frank Lloyd Wright’s first foray into affordable housing is frequently overlooked. Although Wright began work on his American System-Built Homes (ASBH, 1911–17) with great energy, the project fell apart following wartime shortages and disputes between the architect and his developer. While continuing to advocate for the design of affordable small homes, Wright never spoke publicly of ASBH. As a result, the heritage of many Wright-designed homes was forgotten. When Nicholas and Angela Hayes became stewards of the unassuming Elizabeth Murphy House near Milwaukee, they began to unearth evidence that ultimately revealed a one-hundred-year-old fiasco fueled by competing ambitions and conflicting visions of America. The couple’s forensic pursuit of the truth untangled the ways Wright’s ASBH experiment led to the architect’s most productive, creative period. Frank Lloyd Wright’s Forgotten House includes a wealth of drawings and photographs, many of which have never been previously published. Historians, architecture buffs, and Wrightophiles alike will be fascinated by this untold history that fills a crucial gap in the architect’s oeuvre.

[.en] The complete Rossi design works, from his Alesssi kettle to a coffee pot based on a floating theater. Over the course of four decades, the Italian architect and designer Aldo Rossi (1931–97) won international recognition in four distinct areas: architecture, drawing, urban design theory and product design. A part of Silvana’s series on 20th-century Italian design masters, this catalog explores Rossi’s under-published design oeuvre, highlighting over 70 of his projects in which he experimented with shapes and colors through a myriad of material combinations: metals and wood, marble and stone, ceramics and porcelain, artisanal and industrial fabrics, and plastic. Special attention is paid to the evolutions in his output, from his furniture collaborations with architect Leonardo Ferrari in 1960 to his industrial production for Artemide, DesignTex, Bruno Longoni Atelier of furniture, Molteni & C, Richard-Ginori, UniFor, Rosenthal and Up & Up.

[.en] It is obvious we can trace back any stylistic trend from its official inauguration. The primordial soup, from where whatever modus operandi takes place always boils previously, melting among different ingredients. These “short lessons” try to make us understand a little bit more accurately some of the origins that give place to what is commonly described as Modern Architecture. Far from any kind of dogma, or formal approaches, they let us dive into part of its essence through some of the ideas still stirring today’s panorama of the discipline. Ideas that are not at all new, despite their contemporary features, but come up from a long line of events we can already track and identify in the past centuries. Based on four main bodies of general knowledge (approaches, emotions, ideas, and marketing), this text spans from the Enlightenment revolution times to the dusk of the influence of the Modern Movement, focusing on concepts and authors who represent this evolution through their proposals… Always dealing with the keystone in Architecture, the difficult balance between emotion and reason, two human attributes in fact complementary but most of the times understood as opposites.

[.en] Robert L. Thompson, FAIA, is the founder and lead design principal of the Portland-based firm TVA Architects, a firm that has built a foundation of collaboration, innovation, and conservation through beautiful design. He is responsible for the design of many of the most prominent buildings throughout Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. TVA creatively transforms their clients needs and aspirations into elegantly understated works of meaningful architecture, meticulously detailed and impeccably crafted. The projects documented in this book coincide with the fortieth anniversary of this celebrated architect and his body of work as a designer and innovator.

He founded TVA Architects in 1984 and built an internationally recognised practice, starting in the Pacific Northwest. In 1993, at the age of thirty-nine, Thompson was the youngest architect in America to be inducted into the American Institute of Architects’ College of Fellows for his contribution to the profession. Thompson and TVA Architects have been honored with scores of local, national, and international awards for excellence in design. His projects have ranged from major corporate campuses, high-rise office towers and condominium towers, sports and recreational facilities, retail and cultural projects as well as multi- and single-family residences. This lavishly illustrated monograph, filled with full-colour photography and detailed plans, forms a compilation of select work that celebrates Thompson’s influence across architecture over several decades.

[.it] I tre saggi qui raccolti propongono una lettura specifica di momenti differenti del lavoro di Aurelio Galfetti e, a partire da un singolo progetto, dimostrano come l'idea di un'architettura territoriale abbia sempre legato nella sua attività il progetto (a qualsiasi scala) al luogo, al paesaggio e al territorio.

[.en] The volume contains three essays offering a specific reading of different moments in the work of Aurelio Galfetti (Lugano, 1936), a well-known Swiss architect who collaborated - between the sixties and eighties - with exponents of the so-called "Ticino school" and founder, together with Mario Botta, of the Mendrisio Academy of Architecture. Starting from a single project - such as the new pavilion of the neuropsychiatric hospital in Mendrisio (New Villa Ortensia), representative of Galfetti's professional practice - it is shown how the idea of a territorial architecture has always linked the project in his work (on every scale) to the place, the landscape and the territory.

Architecture in Malta during the first half of the twentieth century has to date been a neglected area of academic research. Although there have been succinct contributions profiling some of the more prominent architects, Maltese architecture of this period has never been analyzed within the prevailing political and socio-economic context. This publication seeks to address this lacuna in local architectural history. The period under study is a tumultuous one, encompassing the First World War (1914–18), the Sette Giugno (1919), the Self-Government Constitution (1921), the suspension of that same Constitution (1930), the Language Question (mid-1930s), the Second World War (1939–45), and the Post-War Reconstruction (1943–50). It was a period of major challenges with Malta under British colonial rule, characterized by an unstable economy, distinct social classes, and political aspirations for greater autonomy and self-governance.

‘Conrad Thake has imposed on himself a forty-year time frame for his impressive research into architectural activity in Malta and its more notable exponents. The period 1910–50, is not an inordinately long stretch of time, but is still a most momentous one. Forty years that embrace, among others, no less than two world wars, the Communist revolution, the discovery of antibiotics, the rise and fall of Fascism and Nazism, the assertion of the airplane, the acceptance of abstract art, the diffusion of sound cinema and television.’ - Giovanni Bonello

‘Architect Thake, with his habitual academic analyses, hones in on a period so far sparsely covered or researched: that of the architecture of the initial decades of the last century. During the first five decades of that century local architects were prone to borrowing motives from past historical styles, while also adapting imported influences from then current foreign architectural trends. As such, the local panorama of buildings of this era presents a varied and hybrid amalgam manifesting examples of Art Nouveau, menageries of resuscitated historical styles, and the initial birth-pangs of local Modernism.’ - Richard England

[.en] With offices in San Francisco and Sacramento, Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture has 48 employees and has been in continuous operation since 1950. The firm achieved international recognition early on with the design of several notable game-changing landmark structures, including the recently rehabilitated SMUD Headquarters Building in Sacramento, CA. This project recently received the California Preservation Foundation’s 2020 Preservation Design Award as well as the Trustee’s Award for Excellence. Now in their seventh decade, they continue to be one of the preeminent architectural firms in the region, providing architecture, planning, and interiors services to a broad spectrum of public and private sector clients.

Their unwavering commitment to design excellence is reflected in the quality of their built work. They believe great planning is about more than how people use the spaces they create―it’s how they feel inside of them. Positive experience provides the space for engagement and positive communication―resulting in an opportunity for making change in the world through the sharing of knowledge and collective experience. When they combine this understanding with a consistent pattern of outstanding design and efficient construction, the structures can provide lasting aesthetic quality and durability for generations. The firm has been recognized for design at local, state, and national levels with more than 150 awards over its 71-year history. This book celebrates seventy years of outstanding design by Dreyfuss + Blackford Architecture. It starts with historical milestones, shows some examples of process and practice, and concludes with a few consequential recent projects.

[.es] Tras una infancia transcurrida en varias ciudades africanas y viajes iniciáticos por Oriente Medio explorando arquitecturas alejadas de los cánones hegemónicos europeos, David Adjaye se instaló en Londres, donde estableció su primera oficina en el año 2000.En este número de AV Monografías se incluye una selección de catorce obras y siete proyectos ordenados cronológicamente, desde los primeros encargos domésticos del arquitecto en la capital británica (Elektra House, Dirty House) y edificios icónicos en Washington, D.C. y Nueva York, hasta los recientes propuestas para instituciones culturales en Benin City y Johannesburgo. Es una arquitectura variada al servicio de su contexto y de la comunidad, decidida a ofrecer un relato diverso de la historia.

Personajes en busca de un autor / Luis Fernández-Galiano

Luigi Pirandello estrenó hace un siglo su obra más importante, ‘Sei personaggi in cerca d’autore’, un drama metateatral donde seis miembros de una familia irrumpen en los ensayos de ‘Il giuoco delle parti’, una comedia del mismo autor, y reclaman al director de la obra que les otorgue vida incorporándolos a la representación. Experiencia pionera de teatro dentro del teatro, y primera pieza de una trilogía compuesta también por ‘Ciascuno a suo modo’ y ‘Questa sera si recita a soggetto’, en ella el dramaturgo hace hablar a los seis personajes con el director y los actores que van a asumir sus papeles, con los que se relacionan de forma tempestuosa. Pues bien, los edificios de David Adjaye, que forman parte de una familia pero poseen la individualidad que les otorga la diversidad de sus fachadas, buscan también su sitio en el mundo en diálogo con el director de la obra y con las restantes construcciones de sus escenarios urbanos, interactuando con ellas mientras desgranan su propio relato.

En esta arquitectura dentro de la arquitectura, que materializa efectivamente ‘El juego de los papeles’, las obras reclaman su forma propia desde las circunstancias episódicas de su biografía constructiva, manifestando a la vez diferentes interpretaciones de su vínculo familiar, acaso como los personajes enredados y contradictorios de Pirandello. ‘Cada cual a su manera’, los edificios diseñados por Adjaye se enfrentan a heterogéneas demandas funcionales, contextuales y climáticas procurando dotarse de una robusta singularidad material, morfológica y estética, de la cual los rasgos específicos de su rostro exterior son solo la expresión más evidente. Si, como en la obra postrera del dramaturgo, poeta y novelista siciliano, Esta noche se improvisa, en las realizaciones del arquitecto angloghanés se advierte la misma maestría adaptativa y fresca ductilidad para interpretar la música íntima de la ciudad, improvisando la melodía mientras respeta el ritmo regular o sincopado del entorno.

Desde la radicalidad rotunda de las primeras casas, y hasta la ambición operística de los grandes proyectos que marcan su trayectoria en la etapa inaugurada con el Museo Nacional de Historia Afroamericana, Adjaye ha abordado cada encargo y cada concurso con la libertad que hace su obra tan extraordinariamente variada, pero también con fidelidad testaruda a dos ejes de su trabajo que dotan a su arquitectura de una dimensión política y moral: la voluntad de servicio a la comunidad y el empeño en recuperar un relato diverso de la historia. Aunque desde el primer momento sabíamos que la imagen de portada que mejor abreviaría su obra sería la fachada delicada y solemne del gran museo en el Mall de Washington, dudamos entre usar como lema ‘community matters’ o ‘re-storying history’, porque ambas perspectivas son imprescindibles para dar cuenta cabal de un acervo de obras que desdibujan la autoría para subordinarse generosamente a la comunidad o a la historia.

[.en] This 2G monograph celebrates the craft and ingenuity of MOS, the Harlem-based architecture and design studio founded by Hilary Sample and Michael Meredith in 2005. Recipient of the 2015 Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum National Design Award in Architecture, MOS is responsible for a variety of international projects, from private residences to art studios and community centers, which draw on and combine a consistent vocabulary of readily identifiable shapes from its own architectural catalog--chimneys, corridors, courtyards, roofs, windows. Recent projects include the Huyghe + Le Corbusier Puppet Theater at Harvard's Carpenter Center; Artist Studio in Ancram, New York; the Floating House in Lake Huron, Ontario; the Welcome and Education Center, Apan Housing Laboratory in Apan, Mexico; and the IVY Coathook System. This volume looks at a representative sampling of its acclaimed projects from the past two decades.

The New York architecture office MOS, founded by Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample, is one of the few in the United States that manages to build a quality work from their almost artisanal office structure. Their architecture’s intention is not to programmatically experiment with social norms, wanting to use architecture to directly intervene or facilitate interactions between neighbors or occupants. MOS’s projects are built through combining and aggregating a multiplicity of architectural elements: chimneys, corridors, courtyards, roofs, windows, etc. Their work is partially self-referential, drawing on a consistent set of elements, ideas, and characteristics from their own architectural catalogue. This 2G issue include their last works of the office together with two texts by the architect and critic Stan Allen and by Giovanna Borasi, director of the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) in Montreal.

[.es] Esta monografía recoge lo mejor de las últimas dos décadas de producción del estudio norteamericano Allied Works, fundado por Brad Cloepfil en Oregón en 1994. El nombre del estudio es una afirmación de la arquitectura entendida, no como disciplina aislada, sino como conversación entre diversas prácticas creativas que inspiran respuestas únicas e individuales. En su ensayo “Sitings” reflexionan sobre el estado de la práctica arquitectónica y defienden la idea de una arquitectura sensible, que encuentre su poder en la amplificación de las fuerzas que habitan en un lugar. La cultura, la topografía, la luz, el clima y la vida vegetal son esas fuerzas que otorgan a los edificios un significado duradero.

Su primer gran proyecto fue una reutilización adaptativa de un almacén de Portland para la agencia de publicidad Wieden+Kennedy. Desde entonces, Allied Works han completado proyectos culturales, comerciales y residenciales, incluyendo el Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de St. Louis, el Museo de Arte de la Universidad de Michigan o el Museo Clyfford Still.

Este libro viene en su mejor momento, mostrando, tras más de 25 años de esfuerzos, lo que queremos que la arquitectura sea: sostenible, transformable y capaz de crear comunidad. Más de 300 páginas con 14 proyectos desarrollados a nivel de textos, imágenes, planos y detalles constructivos. Incluye también objetos, dibujos conceptuales o maquetas, entendidos como exploraciones de pensamiento a escala que son precursores de la construcción.
