Sinopsis del Libro

The expert contributors to this lavishly illustrated volume, devoted entirely to Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion of 1929, address here for the first time the forgotten contexts of the Pavilion's genesis. Habitually thought of as an abstract, unpolluted, and splendidly isolated building--a precursor of Mies's American period--the Pavilion is revealed here as a thoroughly European work, perhaps less pristine but more authentic. Mies and Lilly Reich were commissioned to design not only the Pavilion but also more than one hundred thousand square feet of German stands spread throughout the Exposition. By examining that work in addition to the Pavilion itself, the contributors present a far-reaching reinterpretation of the whole. They also explore connections with the mass media, highlight the work's antecedents and meaning in the history of architecture, and analyze the current pavilion, a reconstruction of the original built in 1986. No other critical study offers a comparable overview of Mies's work in Barcelona.

Lenguaje arquitectónico

Los arquitectos le piden al arte sensaciones imprevistas y fuertes, nuevos efectos de fisonomía y de ambiente, acentos que logren a cualquier precio conmover o inquietar; incluso, se piden préstamos formales unos a otros para luego arruinarse con tantos préstamos. De ahí la crisis actual entre función y forma en arquitectura. Ante tal problemática, el autor propone revalorar el lenguaje arquitectónico por ser un instrumento generador de formas con sentido.

A bordo del patio de vecindad

The book is an historic and graphical account of the patios of "vecindad" (neighbourhood) in the port city of Veracruz, in a period that goes from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 21st century. The foreword of this edition, states that the first record of a patio of a "vecindad" dates back to 1791, highlighting that those patios have seen the early years of musician and singer "Toña la Negra" and were the place of origin of the famous "picadas" from Veracruz, one of the most popular snacks of the jarocha traditional cuisine.

Apolo y Dionisos

En este libro se ensaya una visión de la arquitectura moderna dirigida a diferenciar sus aspectos racionales de aquellos que son consecuencia de la emoción. Buscar en la dualidad razón-sentimiento el origen del proceder del artista lleva a comprobar la subjetividad con la que el arquitecto moderno debe dicidir, en cada momento, entre seguir fiel a la razón o dejarse llevar por sentimientos. La distinta afinidad que muestran hacia Apolo y Dionisos y, en consecuencia, el predominio de uno u otro, acaba por definir el temperamento de su obra. El análisis se realiza sobre doce obras maestras ...
