Résumé:
small projects is the name of an architectural practice located in the monsoon tropics. More importantly, it also refers to a process of thinking about context; one focused on the poetry of its products only in as far as their production is poetic. Where books on specific architectural practices might be by way of monographs, being books about work; this particular book has been written from the perspective of a process based on phenomena, placing less emphasis on picturesque documentation than it does on critical explanation of its contents: it is less a book about work than one which attempts to be a work in itself.

Résumé:
The construction of a mental habit that systematically confronts the complexities and the contradiction of the architectural profession is what characterises the work of Serie. Serie searches for a level of coherence that goes beyond iconic recognition. Its method is an attempt to coincide and negotiate the two extremes of architecture: the commitment to the city and its project, and the definition of an architectural method discernible in its own disciplinary terms. Serie works in the direction of reconciling the disputation between city and design, and the framework of this reconciliation is the idea of type.

Résumé:
This publication contains 14 projects and recent works by Salvador Pérez Arroyo, an experimental and heterodox architect whose designs alternate between light, heavy and utopian.

Mangado's designs share many elements, such as an urban setting, technological innovation, and responsive choices of materials. But alongside these is a rigorous intention to ‘reconsider more intelligent and responsible objectives’ for architecture. Today Mangado advocates designing and building ethically, urging a move away from the display and spectacle that he helped to pioneer, and which he now feels has become insubstantial.
