Abstract

C'est le premier ouvrage qui recense le travail de Ricardo Flores & Eva Prats, un studio d'architecture fondée en 1998, qui combine leur travail sur des projets et des constructions avec un focus particulier sur leurs activités académiques dans diverses universités. Le livre reflète l'essence de ses auteurs en affichant leurs processus de conception qui vont de croquis et dessins de modèles détaillés de chacun de leurs projets. L'ouvrage recense des œuvres, y compris les rénovations, les logements sociaux, les espaces publics, la participation de voisinage, et des ateliers de l'université. Textes écrits par Miquel Adriá, Eva Prats, Ricardo Flores, Juan José Lahuerta, Adriá Goula, Joan Enric Prats, Cesc Segura, Manuel de Solà-Morales, Manuel Arguijo, Carlota Coloma, Adriá Lahuerta, Soraya Smithson, Miralda et Toni Casares.

Abstract

Mexican architect Alberto Kalach (born 1960) founded Taller de Arquitectura X (TAX) in 1981, and for more than 35 years the firm’s work has produced a wide range of projects: from private commissions to public buildings, from solutions for confined spaces to urban planning problems. The scale of the commission may vary, but the approach remains the same, always driven by a sense of curiosity and experimentation; TAX describes itself as somewhere between “a lab, a greenhouse and learning team.” Rather than adhering to a specific style, TAX’s constancy is methodological and conceptual, allowing the studio to be prolific, versatile and consistent simultaneously. The studio’s work has long been motivated by Kalach’s concerns about—and research into—the particular challenges and problems of his native Mexico City. To this end he has designed a minimalist house that can be built for $5,000, the largest public library in Latin America and an ambitious proposed plan to restore Mexico City’s ancient lakes (which remains unrealized). Alberto Kalach: Work is an extensive compilation of more than 100 of TAX’s built and unbuilt projects. Illustrated with architectural photographs by Iwan Baan and Jaime Navarro as well as Kalach’s personal diagrams and drawings, this volume introduces readers to the work and vision of one of Mexico’s most acclaimed contemporary architects.

Abstract

In 2017, as part of the MEXTRÓPOLI Festival, Pritzker Prize-winning architect Peter Zumthor (born 1943) was invited to Mexico City to participate in a series of public discussions about architecture and the city. Zumthor in Mexico, the first publication in Arquine's new Swiss Architects in Mexico series, collects the architect's Mexico City conversations in a handsome volume, featuring edited transcriptions of Zumthor's talks with journalist Nicolás Alvarado, artist Pedro Reyes and architects Tatiana Bilbao, Gloria Cabral and Rozana Montiel, among others.In these lively interviews, Zumthor explains his personal approach to architecture as it applies to a wide range of subjects, such as: where design ideas come from, how ideas move from conceptualization to materialization, the importance of the landscape and the natural environment to design and his sense of the responsibility of the architect in the present.
