AV Monografías N.278

VV.AA.

No existen maestros sin mitos. Por eso no es de extrañar que los cuatro arquitectos modernos más reconocibles, los más estudiados en las escuelas, tuviesen vidas de novela: instantes de genialidad, crisis, amistades estimulantes, grandes mujeres a su lado. De todo ello habla Luis Fernández-Galiano en el nuevo número de AV Monografías, que se aproxima a las biografías de Frank Lloyd Wright, Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier y Alvar Aalto.

La vida de la materia

Eduardo PRIETO

Explicar la mala fama de la materia en la arquitectura y el arte de Occidente es uno de los propósitos de este ensayo, que transita por épocas y autores para reunir los muchos argumentos que han ido reescribiendo, una y otra vez, la vieja tesis de que la materia es confusa, informe, irracional, oscura, dionisíaca e incluso violenta, y que el propósito del arte es volverla precisa, formada, racional, luminosa, apolínea y pacífica.

BROISSIN Architects, 25 Years In Silver

Gerardo BROISSIN COVARRUBIAS - José Luís ÁLVAREZ TINAJERO - Thelma BLAKE

This is not just an architecture book. It's a rift. An uncomfortable whisper between the walls of 25 years of practice. Here, 58 built projects are presented, arranged with the logic of time. But between every line and every drawing, something else slips through: a suspicion. A resistance. An unresolved question. Thirty texts-written without permission and unafraid of disappointment-accompany this journey. They do not explain, nor justify. They interrogate. They dismantle comfortable narratives.

Storytelling como estrategia de comunicación

Guillaume LAMARRE

Érase una vez un mundo en el que la comunicación funcionaba solo en una dirección. Cada día, marcas e instituciones se limitaban a repetir su mensaje muchas veces. Pero entonces, llegó un tsunami digital, arrasó aquel mundo, y el público empezó a decidir cómo y cuándo deseaba recibir la información. Por ese motivo, las marcas tuvieron que reinventar completamente sus estrategias de comunicación.

Richard Rogers on Modern Architecture

Richard ROGERS

Written during what architect Richard Rogers saw as a moment of crisis in modern architecture, this essay explores how the way we build-and live-could change for the better.

Practicas documentales: Proyecto y contingencia

Lola BATALLER ALBEROLA

¿Es posible entender algunas prácticas arquitectónicas como cercanas al arte documental? Este texto ensaya esta posibilidad a partir del corpus teórico que recoge el documental en el cine. Realidad, honestidad y ficción son términos muy discutidos y a la vez muy pertinentes en nuestra disciplina. Lo que une a cine y arquitectura, en el marco de este texto, es que uno y otra han de elaborar una obra a partir de una realidad existente, en ocasiones delicada, a veces difícil de asumir.
