AP178.S1.1998.PR08
Description:
This project series documents the Biblioteca de Humanidades de la Universidade de Salamanca in Salamanca, Spain. While the records were held in the office’s archives this project was assigned the number 103/90. The office assigned the date 1998 to this project. The project site was located on the site of the Colegio Mayor de Cuenca near the Palacio de Congresos built by Juan Navarro Baldeweg. Previously on this site was the Convento de San Agustin, which was destroyed during the Peninsular War. During the construction of the Colegio Mayor de Cuence archeological artifacts were discovered. The library was originally part of Siza's intervention in Salamanca, including a building for the Fundación Caja Duero and a building for the Fundación Germán Sánchez Ruipérez. None of these projects were realized. The design for the library included three floors and a basement and integrates architectural vestiges. The project was not realized. Documenting this project are sketches, mechanical drawings, plumbing drawings, structural drawings and annotated plans. Textual materials include project documentation, correspondence, and details for the archaeological excavation. Photographic materials include panoramas and negatives showing the model.

Summary:
A unique and multi-faceted talent, Juan Navarro Baldeweg is one of the two most highly acclaimed Spanish architects living today. Also an artist, his paintings have been exhibited at galleries and art fairs worldwide. The goal of this book, which was designed by Baldeweg himself, is to reflect the many sides of his character. In a running discourse he reveals his own view of architecture and art, while a commentary by J.M. Bonet, Director of the IVAM Modern Art Museum in Valencia, provides insight into Baldeweg's artistic career. Art works presented include paintings, photographs, and drawings; architectural projects are accompanied by sketches, plans, situation maps, axonometric drawings and photographs. In 1998 Juan Navarro Baldeweg was awarded the highly coveted Heinrich Tessenow Gold Medal for architecture.

Summary:
Spanish architect Julio Cano Lasso (1920–1996) was celebrated for his rational and austerely engineered buildings as well as his commitment to designing social housing and urban infrastructure. Lasso’s buildings are practical, modern, and immediately recognisable for their bare-bones aesthetic. He was, in the real sense of the word, an eclectic; fusing diverse sources and periods in his built works. Featuring previously unpublished texts by authors such as William J.R. Curtis, Juhani Pallasmaa, Iñaki Ábalos, and Juan Navarro Baldeweg, as well as archival images complemented by recent photographs by Iwan Baan, this volume proudly presents Cano Lasso’s legacy.
