Résumé:
Since the turn of the century, the brothers of Lisbon-based practice Aires Mateus have expanded their formal and material repertoire, blurring the limits of the building with the exterior, the topography, or the existing. Such an enrichment of the architectural vocabulary combines the abstraction of their beginnings with many figurative references extracted from the historic and the vernacular. This issue celebrates their innovation with 20 works completed since 2000. The selection features numerous private homes but also the School of Architecture in Tournai (Belgium), the EDP Headquarters in Lisbon, and the Furnas Monitoring and Research Centre, located in the Azores.

Résumé:
This monographic publication covers the complete career of this exceptional French craftsman, designer and engineer. From the originality of his first furniture pieces to the sophistication of his later building systems, Prouvé’s work is an example of commitment with prefabrication and industrialization, but also with that tireless experimentation that turns him into a unique figure in the 20th century history of design and architecture. The issue, edited on the occasion of the exhibition devoted to Prouvé during the months of September and October 2011 at the Ivorypress gallery in Madrid, will include articles by prominent scholars and experts, as well as pieces by architects such as Norman Foster, Peter Sulzer and Jean-Louis Cohen.

Résumé:
Prefabricated, refurbished or built on site, the dozen houses featured here adopt different technological solutions, expressed with special rigor through the construction details viewed as an intelligent synthesis of architecture and industry, of drawing and thought. Centred on these aspects of the project, this issue goes from the bare and strict concrete of the 1+1=1 House in Madrid to the wavy and folded one of the House in San Vicente del Raspeig; from the abstract purity of the Moliner House in Zaragoza to the material eclecticism of the Zafra-Uceda House in Madrid, the Never Never Land House in Ibiza, or the House for a Swimmer in Murcia. Architects included in this issue are Eduardo Arroyo, Alberto Campo Baeza, Izaskun Chinchilla, Ferrater & Martí, Juan Herreros, Andrés Jaque, Martín Lejarraga and others.

Résumé:
Between art and architecture, the work of Mauricio Pezo and Sofía von Ellrichshausen is a consistent mix of geometric, spatial, and structural experimentation, where each piece is conceived as a variation within a series. The introductory text by Fernando Pérez Oyarzun unveils the key aspects of the work of the Chilean architects and their particular way of understanding architecture, and is followed by a chronological journey through 32 works and projects developed since 2002, when they set up their studio in Concepción, 500 kilometers south of Santiago. This itinerary includes the bold prisms of their first houses which brought them world renown as well as their latest projects.

Résumé:
The Barcelona-based studio Harquitectes is a model in its ability to provide value to public or private clients, in its responsibility when intervening in heritage buildings or urban environments, and in its determination to pursue sustainability in terms of energy, waste, or the life cycle of materials, issues which they address with unique thermodynamic sophistication. Besides exhibiting smart design and construction, their buildings are also aesthetically sophisticated in the use of basic materials and economical in their budgetary discipline. This special overview features twelve local Barcelona projects (“experiences”): designs for living, education, research, and civic functions.

Résumé:
In this thematic issue, the comparative examination of houses arranged in pairs permits detecting common features and specific characteristics that link the plural of an associated type with the singular of an extraordinary home. According to editor Luis Fernández-Galiano, “It is an effort perhaps similar to that of defining the genotype of an organism eluding the infinite variety of phenotypes, simplified here by the use of only two structures, arranged in marriages of convenience because in effect they have a common interest”.
