Résumé:
Former boxer and a self-taught architect, Tadao Ando (Osaka, Japan, 1941) is considered to be one of the masters of contemporary architecture. Monumental, abstract, and essential, his extensive oeuvre – with over three hundred completed buildings – is defined by the use of stringent geometries, simple materials, and scenographic lighting. After introductions by Kenneth Frampton and Luis Fernández-Galiano, ''AV Monographs 241-242'' presents a selection of 35 works arranged in a detailed chronological journey, and which take stock of the existential serenity and connection with nature that characterizes the oeuvre of the Japanese master.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
Prefabricated, refurbished or built on site, the dozen houses featured here adopt different technological solutions, expressed with special rigor through the construction details viewed as an intelligent synthesis of architecture and industry, of drawing and thought. Centred on these aspects of the project, this issue goes from the bare and strict concrete of the 1+1=1 House in Madrid to the wavy and folded one of the House in San Vicente del Raspeig; from the abstract purity of the Moliner House in Zaragoza to the material eclecticism of the Zafra-Uceda House in Madrid, the Never Never Land House in Ibiza, or the House for a Swimmer in Murcia. Architects included in this issue are Eduardo Arroyo, Alberto Campo Baeza, Izaskun Chinchilla, Ferrater & Martí, Juan Herreros, Andrés Jaque, Martín Lejarraga and others.
