The voice of memory rings loud and clear on the pages of the new issue of 'AV Monographs', a compilation of conversations that Luis Fernández-Galiano has had over the years with ten masters recounting their respective lives and professional trajectories. Arranged by age of the speakers – from Frank Gehry, the most veteran of all, to Bjarke Ingels – and transcribed in the form of monologues, the interviews trace the biographical journey of each architect, from family origins, upbringing, and educational training to latest projects at the time of the dialogue, and are illustrated with the most characteristic works and projects of their career.

Author of some of the most prominent buildings completed in Colombia in the past years, like the Spain Library and the Sport Centers in Medellín, or the extension of Santa Fe Foundation in Bogotá, Giancarlo Mazzanti (Barranquilla, 1963) takes inspiration from construction games to generate, starting from geometric elements and modular pieces, spatial structures that become living spaces for the community. Understanding architecture as a collective action, the Bogotá-based studio focusses its work on play, experimentation, and exchange of ideas among a variety of professionals, including engineers, sociologists, and artists.

This book offers an exciting journey into the most recent architectural achievements, seen in their complexity and plurality, and described in the most objective and truthful way. The development of contemporary architecture is presented as it commenced more than a century ago, as it tried to reconcile democratic ideals with the forces of the Industrial Era. In contrast to many books on the modern-day art of building, the development of architecture is not described chronologically here, but, rather, independently for each selective architectural trend. This allows a better explanation of some evolutionary processes and the continuity of each trend. Thanks to such an approach, this book will serve as a convenient tutorial for courses on history of contemporary architecture in all art and architectural schools.

"In the era of the Anthropocene, site matters are more pressing than ever. Building on the concepts, theories and multi-disciplinary approaches raised in the first edition, this publication strives to address the changes that have taken place over the last fifteen years with new material to complement and re-position the initial volume. Reaching across design disciplines, this highly-illustrated anthology assembles essays from architects, landscape architects, urban designers, planners, historians and artists to explore ways to physically and conceptually engage site. Thoughtful discourse and empirically grounded pieces combine to provide the language and theory to contextualise the meanings of site in the built environment. The increasingly complex hybridity of constructed environments today demands new tools for thinking about and working with site. Drawing contributions from outside and within the traditional design disciplines, this edition will trace important developments in site thinking with new essays on topics such as climate change, landscape as infrastructure, shifts from global to planetary urbanization debates, and the proliferation of participatory site transformation practices. Edited by two leading practitioners and academics, Site Matters juxtaposes timeless contributions from individuals including Elizabeth Meyer, Robert Beauregard and Robin Dripps with original new writings from Peter Marcuse, Jane Wolff, Neil Brenner and Thaisa Way, amongst others, to recontextualise and reignite the debate around site. An ideal text for students, academics and researchers interested in site and design theory"--
