In 2010, the international congress ‘Architecture: More for Less’ was held in Pamplona.

Through the lens of architecture, it offers a kaleidoscopic portrait of our time.

"La idea construída" réunit les textes les plus intéressants de Campo Baeza, dans lesquels il exprime sa conception de l'architecture. C'est à travers des plans et des textes que l'architecte dévoile les clés de son travail. « Merci à Mies Van der Rohe ou à Le Corbusier pour leurs écrits passionnants qui éclairent leurs oeuvres. Je voudrais donc que l'on comprenne aujourd'hui ensemble tous ces textes. Exprimer clairement ses intentions c'est aussi révéler le sens de l'architecture. Si les idées exprimées deviennent réalité construite c'est preuve qu'elles sont valables et que les mots ne sont pas vains. »

Summary:
The German architect Rudolf Schwarz (1897–1961) numbers among the leading masters of church architecture in the twentieth century. Inspired by the Catholic Youth Movement, Schwarz designed more than forty religious buildings after 1924 and played an integral role in Cologne’s reconstruction in the aftermath of World War II. In addition, he made a name for himself as the author of fundamental texts on sacred architecture. Praised by Mies van der Rohe as “designed order full of meaning,” Schwarz’s architecture was intended to house religious contemplation. He became famous for his vast, light-filled spaces, minimalist in form yet overflowing with symbolism. This volume documents Schwarz’s transformative sacred buildings in Germany and Austria alongside his collaborations with visual artists such as Ewald Mataré and Georg Meistermann.

Summary:
Leon van Schaik AO, Professor of Architecture at RMIT University for 30 years and mentor to countless Australian architects, lays down his highly influential creative philosophies in his latest book, ''Architecture in its Continuums.'' The text represents a distillation of a lifetime of thinking about architecture and the ways in which it is practiced, researched and taught. The book remediates a gap that van Schaik sees in current architecture writing. There are, he says, ''very few books on architecture that, I believe, concern the practice of architecture itself, as distinct from the large body of writing about the history, sociology and environmental science of architecture.'' Van Schaik contends that we all share a common experience of space and light. Therefore, the architect's skill in the crafting of space and light has the potential to intimately connect architecture with humanity.
