Summary:
Economic decline and social cuts have engendered widespread unease across the whole of the Iberian Peninsula. In the case of architects, the situation is especially dire, as the region has seen the collapse of the housing market and diminishing funds for public projects. This issue of AV Monographs concentrates its focus on Portugal, where there is yet an optimistic outlook for exceptional architecture which demonstrates both material quality and formal refrain. Included are texts by Luis Fernández-Galiano and Jorge Figueira, plus diverse projects like the Lisbon Oceanarium Extension by Pedro Campos Costa, Casa NuDi by Nuno Piedade Alexandre, and the Pedestrian Bridge in Covilhã by Carrilho da Graça & Afaconsult.

Summary:
Facing economic, cultural and political crisis, Europe must seek sustainable urban solutions. Living together in collective housing, compact cities and well-integrated countries on a shared continent is the best course for future survival. Thus the importance of building types and urban models for better energy use is tantamount. Editor Luis Fernández-Galiano contributes two essays on the topic – “Living Together” and “In Praise of the Compact City” – and illustrates these with twenty works in ten countries, from Norway to Portugal and the United Kingdom to Germany. Featured architects include Dominique Perrault, Hild und K Architekten and AH Asociados, among others.

Summary:
The architecture of RCR (Rafael Aranda, Carme Pigem and Ramón Vilalta) combines romantic rauxa with rational rigor. Based in Olot, the capital of La Garrotxa – a Pre-Pyrenean region in Catalonia, filled with extinct volcanoes and pleasant landscapes that have attracted painters, origin of its ancient industry of religious imagery – in no more than two decades they have built in their area a crop of works with a unique language that combines the romantic desire to blend with nature and to seek the sublime through extreme relinquishment, with the rational determination of geometric rigor, abstract composition and constructive refinement, with details that bring together violently tactile materials.
