Summary:
Today, tourism is rooted in a model of environmental and cultural degradation. 'AV Proyectos' presents seven alternatives that anticipate a hopeful shift towards community-based rural life, from C733's Jaguar Park in Mexico to Ryue Nishizawa's Shishi-Iwa House in Japan. As Gonzalo Pardo and Andrés Rubio point out in the article accompanying this section, its harmful impact must be confronted by defending local tradition and identity. David Chipperfield has shared his experience and also highlighted the growing difficulty of accessing housing, which has created a social crisis in London and is now surfacing in Galicia. The issue continues with the construction of the French Lycée Library in Madrid by Alberto Campo Baeza, and an introduction to the creative process of designers Muller Van Severen.

Summary:
Rice University architect and professor Jesús Vasallo has become a key voice in debates on architectural realism. This text adapts the interview that Jimmy Bullis and Pouya Khadem conducted for PLAT, the magazine published by Rice University students. The term “style” has become outdated for contemporary practice because it implies an obsolete approach. But this does not mean that internal coherence is unnecessary. All architectural practice must be consistent because it is part of a broader field of cultural production.

Summary:
''AV Proyectos 99'' devotes its dossier to Foster + Partners, covering the latest proposals the British office is now developing in different countries, focussed all of them in the search for sustainability and in the commitment with the future of the environment. The competition section features the winning project, by Carmody Groarke, and the four finalists in the call to extend the Design Museum Gent. The chapter after it includes seven buildings constructed in stone, and that show the qualities of an ancestral material whose expressive potential, together with its durability, strength, thermal inertia, and sustainability have turned it into one of the most highly valued among architects.

Summary:
It is not easy to name an architect who can invent as much, and as poetically and rigorously, as Kengo Kuma. This issue of AV Monographs takes stock of his firm’s extensive output of the past five years through 32 works and 8 projects, presenting them in five groups. From the New National Stadium of Japan which is nearing completion for the Olympic Games to the competition the studio won recently to extend the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, via works like the Victoria & Albert Museum in Scotland, the Cultural Village in the Portland Japanese Garden, the refurbishment of a traditional courtyard-house in Beijing or the Camper Store in Barcelona. This taxonomy gives a good idea of the scope of his ambition.
