Summary:
Iñaki Ábalos and Juan Herreros established the renowned architectural firm Ábalos & Herreros in Madrid in 1984. At the time, following the end of the Franco regime, architects were valued more for their technical ability than for their contributions to theoretical research. In this context, Ábalos and Herreros’s melding of design with a range of publications and curatorial projects presented a remarkable challenge to assumptions about the role of an architect. In 2012, the Canadian Centre for Architecture obtained the Ábalos & Herreros archive, which contains documents related to more than 160 projects. The material comprises sketches, slides, models, collages, and drawings. The archive presents a compelling opportunity to reconstruct Ábalos and Herreros’s planning and design process. Each of the book’s three contributors—two of whom worked with Ábalos and Herreros—approaches the archive with specific questions, and their essays explore topics including the architects’ fascination with industrial architecture, their capacity to construct a hybrid materiality without recourse to building technology as language, and their innovative visions for landscape architecture.

Summary:
Actions : comment s’approprier la ville présente la recherche et l’écriture originales qui interrogent les façons dont les actions humaines façonnent le design des villes contemporaines et l’expérience qu’on en fait. Publié à l’occasion de l’exposition tenue en 2008 au CCA, Actions : comment s’approprier la ville comprend trente essais originaux de portée internationale. Ces textes traitent tant des observations personnelles d’un éventail d’activistes que des réflexions de spécialistes qui analysent les répercussions positives de ces initiatives individuelles sur la ville ; 34 actions tirées de l’exposition s’imbriquent aux textes. Les actions sont représentées par des images couleur et de courtes descriptions, qui précisent le nom des acteurs, les outils et les lieux concernés. Mirko Zardini et Giovana Borasi, directeurs de la publication et commissaires de l’exposition, signent chacun une introduction offrant une perspective historique ; ils campent l’exposition et la publication dans le cadre de la conservation.
