Résumé:
There’s no master without myth, so it is no surprise that the four most prominent modern architects, the most widely studied at schools, had novel-like lives: moments of genius, crises, stimulating friendships, great women by their sides… Luis Fernández-Galiano discusses all this in the new issue of AV Monographs, which examines the biographies of Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies(...)

Résumé:
There’s no master without myth, so it is no surprise that the four most prominent modern architects, the most widely studied at schools, had novel-like lives: moments of genius, crises, stimulating friendships, great women by their sides… Luis Fernández-Galiano discusses all this in the new issue of AV Monographs, which examines the biographies of Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and Alvar Aalto. These life journeys originated in a series of lectures delivered in 2010 at the Fundación Juan March in Madrid, which had a great turnout and have continued to draw considerable attention ever since, thanks to streaming. As with ‘Four Cities’ (AV 259), this success with audiences has encouraged to document the talks in print, maintaining the natural pace and graphic profuseness of slide presentations.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
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 The term “style” has become outdated for contemporary practice because it implies an obsolete approach.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.

For the past three years, the Spain Yearbook has been complemented by a special edition of AV Monographs that is an invitation to travel the world through twelve foreign works presented by Luis Fernández-Galiano, who reflects on the uncertain contemporary landscape.

Résumé:
"Vivienda industrializada" focuses on housing and industrialization, opening with an article by Eduardo Prieto on the possibilities and boundaries of this practice, still today caught between the promise of technology and the logistical inertia of conventional construction. In this context, a selection of six projects completed in Spain explores different ways of integrating design, manufacture, and assembly within the residential sector, in a progression ranging from the domestic to the collective. That same pragmatism is evident in the work of British architects Jonathan Sergison and Stephen Bates, whose practice is explored here through their recent projects.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
Vector Architects, founded by Gong Dong (Beijing, 1972) has become one of the key architectural offices in China. Their work is distinguished by its careful attention to context, a deep respect for landscape and the natural environment, the contemporary reinterpretation of Chinese building traditions, and the conscientious use of natural light as a project tool. With these ingredients the studio envisions and designs intimate and emotional spaces, as those that can be found in the sixteen projects, all of them in China, featured in this monograph. The list includes works like the Alila Yangshuo Hotel, the Seashore Library and Chapel, the Captain’s House, and the Changjiang Art Museum.
