COMING FROM THE SOUTH (BRU, EDUARD)

La tesis que defiende Eduard Bru en este libro –y que avala con una interesantísima práctica propia o cercana ilustrada en estas páginas– es que cada realidad geográfica, social y cultural requiere una determinada producción de espacio.

RESIDENCES FOR THE ELDERLY (MINGUET, JOSEP MARIA)

A finales del siglo veinte, estamos viviendo una especie de esquizofrenia entre la arquitectura y la vivienda a causa de los nuevos tipos de vida. De un lado, existe una continuidad y mejora de los tipos heredados del pasado; mientras de que otro, existen nuevos argumentos como la atención a factores medioambientales y al uso de materiales locales, así como la exploración de nuevas pautas de composición y de construcción de las fachadas, que nos permiten hablar del comienzo de una nueva arquitectura. Este libro analiza los alcances de este debate, a través del análisis de una serie de proyectos de vivienda colectiva realizados por arquitectos de renombre internacional, como BURKHALTER & SUMI, Hans KOLLHOFF, HERZOG & DE MEURON, Henri CIRIANI, SHIGERU BAN y BKK-2. Bajo la diversidad de los proyectos expuestos, late una común idea acerca de los interiores: combinar un planteamiento racional con generosas entradas de luz natural.
