AP164.S2
Description:
This series documents publications by Ábalos&Herreros and by the firm's publishing house Liga Multimedia Internaciónal (LMI). It includes a doctoral thesis “La Casa de Don Giovanni” by D. José Queglas; a book series titled “Exit”; writings about the firm for an issue of 2G: International Architecture Review, no. 22; “Técnica y architectura en la ciudad contemporánea” by Abalos & Herreros; as well as various publications by Abalos & Herreros and other authors. “La Casa de Don Giovanni” by D. José Queglas was published at the LMI. Documenting the publication are copies of the doctoral thesis, dummies, proofs, correspondence, contracts, reports, and an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) request form. Material was produced between 1972 and 1996. The book series “Exit” was also published by the LMI. Five titles were published and a sixth was in development, when the project was abandoned for unknown reasons. The publications in the series were titled: Exit 1: Exit; Exit 2: Las Afueras : siete visiones de la vida metropolitana; Exit 3: Le Corbusier. Rascacielos; Exit 4: [unknown]; and Exit 5: Natural artificial. Exit 2’s project title was “Madrid Metrópolis” and was changed later to “Las Afueras […]”. However, Abalos & Herreros did publish a book entitled “Madrid Metrópolis”, but there is no relation between the two publications. Documenting the book series are correspondence, a dummy, publications, notes, clippings, plans, invoices, contracts, and reference, digital, graphic and photographic materials. The publication “Abalos & Herreros” featured in the 2G: International architecture review, no 22 includes plans and illustrations. The issue is about Abalos & Herreros’ work from the 1990s. Documenting the publication are design development, presentation, and work drawings, as well as textual records. The publication of “Técnica y architectura en la ciudad contemporánea” by Abalos & Herreros was documented in phases of its creation. This publication was translated in English under the title “Tower and Office: from Modernist Theory to Contemporary Practice”. It was published as Buell Center / Columbia Books of Practice by MIT Press. Documenting the publication are proofs, illustrations, design development drawings, correspondence, reference and photographic materials. Various publications by Abalos & Herreros and titles published by the firm’s publishing house LMI include writings and correspondence, as well as reference, graphic and photographic materials.

AP032.S4
Description:
This series contains material on publications and exhibitions concerning Goldsmith work and career. Papers and photographs record the creation of the book Myron Goldsmith: Buildings and Concepts, edited by Swiss architect Werner Blaser and published by Rizzoli Publications in 1987. The updating of Goldsmith's theoretical views are apparent in the manuscript drafts and revisions of his two essays for the book - "The Effects of Scale," reworked from his I.I.T. master's thesis, and the newly composed "Structural Architecture." This series also contains documents concerning retrospective exhibitions on Goldsmith originating at Harvard University (1982), and at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (1991). This material includes papers, correspondence, exhibition panels and wall text panels. The inclusion of periodicals and clippings on the architect's work, and the work of his students, supply a good bibliographic background on the architect.

Description:
The sub-series documents the publication "L'anarchitetto”, written by Pettena and published by Guaraldi, in Florence, in 1973. The book consists of an essay in which Pettena describes himself as an "anarchitect" as he sees architecture more as a metaphor of the creative condition that starts with the intention of "making architecture" but ends up making art. He also states his refusal to "to recognize the borders between disciplines."
