Este libro tiene por objeto profundizar en el conocimiento de la arquitectura nórdica, y en particular del Museo Arzobispal de Hedmark en Hamar (1967-2005), obra del arquitecto noruego Sverre Fehn, acercandose a su pensamiento y su manera de entender no solo la arquitectura, sino el ser humano y su contexto cultural y social. De hecho, la obra de Sverre Fehn trasciende de los limites de los lugares y temas en que trabajo para aportar su propia vision del mundo y, desde su sensibilidad, abrir nuevas perspectivas a la arquitectura. La capacidad inventiva e intuitiva de Fehn estimulan en el autor de este trabajo una curiosidad tal que se propone buscar respuestas y certezas que ayuden a descifrar los razonamientos e ideas que dan lugar al proyecto del Museo Hedmark, la obra mas completa del arquitecto noruego, a la que tambien dedica gran parte de su vida, y aquella que reune la mayor parte de las cualidades que caracterizan su arquitectura. Esta publicacion trata de afirmar que desde una sensibilidad contemporanea es posible estimular el valor de las huellas que ha dejado la cultura humana, y mostrarlas de forma comprensible para crear conocimiento, no tratandolas como simple arqueologia, sino incorporandolas a nuestro tiempo, estableciendo los oportunos vinculos entre el lugar, la naturaleza, la historia y las preexistencias. El hecho de no tratar los restos como mera arqueologia permite a Fehn volver a dar vida a una ruina de forma que emerja de la tierra en directa relacion con el cielo, redefiniendo la linea de horizonte. El desarrollo del trabajo estudia el proceso para recuperar el lugar, documentando su historia y analizando los mecanismos que se abordan en el tratamiento de las ruinas, haciendo enfasis en la personalidad y el pensamiento constructivo del arquitecto. Fehn sera capaz de inventar fabulas, de contar historias a traves de las preexistencias, de los objetos alli encontrados, y de la arquitectura que propone. Una inspiracion poetica que no pasa desapercibida y se puede sentir en el interior de su obra. Tal y como Fehn sugeria: "La lucidez y la inspiracion se encuentran de forma mas natural junto a las estrellas, por encima del segundo horizonte que conforman las nubes, inmersos en el universo de las aves, en ese lugar llamado eter, situado entre el cielo y la tierra".

Como bien sabemos, sudaca es un término peyorativo utilizado para etiquetar a los latinoamericanos en Europa. Supersudaca da vuelta el insulto y celebra su modo de hacer arquitectura. Uno de esos modos, es la tradicion Supersudaca de no finalizar los procesos: se mueven de un lugar a otro, vuelven en circulos y siguen caminos impredecibles. Contrapuesto a un libro de obras completas acumuladas a lo largo de toda una vida de experiencia solida Incomplete Works intenta exponer el proceso como marco. El libro muestra los contenidos de Supersudaca como etapas temporales. Al final, la publicacion estara terminada cuando este incompleta. Incomplete Works celebra las dos primeras decadas de esta sociedad y marca el tono para mas proyectos en el futuro. Editado por Fernando Lara de UPenn Witzman School of Design, y publicado por Romano Guerra editora, Supersudaca - Incomplete Works es un libro fundamental para entender el flujo del pensamiento de arquitectura del siglo 21 en el sur global.

La forma en Arquitectura está indefectiblemente ligada a la organización. Una determina a la otra y el análisis minucioso de su integración defina la singularidad de la obra arquitectónica. Supermodelos presenta una forma de estudio disciplinar enfocado en la construccion de consistencia geometrica de casos de estudio con capacidades multiples con el doble fin de aprender de ellos y construir proyectos arquitectonicos nuevos. Este libro presenta un analisis geometrico organizativo y la posterior variacion y proliferacion de los modelos embebidos en las construcciones teorico-practicas de JNL Durand de su Precis des leçons darchitecture donnees a lecole polythechnique y en el Campo Marzio de Giambattista Piranesi.

La perspectiva histórica que da el transcurrir del tiempo otorga a toda producción cultural una comprensión más vasta e integral. La propuesta sobre la que versa Summando parte de entender que entre la arquitectura construida y el circulo cultural desde el cual se realiza, se sostiene y se debate se encuentran los medios de difusion. Estos son la puerta por la cual entramos a una porcion de la realidad que es la que se publica, se transmite y se ilustra. La realidad arquitectonica de las ciudades es distinta a la percepcion que tenemos de ella. Intermediando ambas instancias, se encuentran los medios, entre ellos las revistas, y entre las revistas de arquitectura Summa y Summa+. En su publicacion y tirada sostenida desde 1963, Summa se constituyo como pionera en la valoracion de la arquitectura y del diseño generados en el pais y America Latina, y en su contenido se revelan los paradigmas vigentes que subyacen a los escenarios arquitectonicos en su doble vertiente: la arquitectura construida y el campo de las ideas. En sus paginas se aborda el desglose de los ejemplares de las decadas del setenta, ochenta y noventa con la pretension de construir un relato que permita inscribir a la arquitectura nacional en un espacio de transiciones, continuidades o discontinuidades en el ambito disciplinar en el que encuentra su genesis.

Un percorso complesso e articolato, quello dello stile, che arriva fino a oggi, nel tempo della moda ecosostenibile, del fast fashion delle sfilate e degli influencer. Michelangelo Iossa ci accompagna in un viaggio tra antichi artigiani e stilisti moderni, tessuti scomparsi e prodotti allavanguardia, grandi firme del presente e fashion icons del futuro, alla ricerca della maestria negli abiti e nel design che ha reso grande il nostro Paese.

In "Stones of Venice," John Ruskin presents a profound exploration of the architectural grandeur and moral significance of Venetian structures. Written in an evocative prose style that seamlessly blends art criticism with social commentary, Ruskin delves into the intricate relationship between architecture and the human experience. His work is deeply embedded within the context of the Victorian era, responding to the rapid industrialization of his time while advocating for a return to craftsmanship and moral integrity in art. The three-volume series meticulously examines the Gothic style, celebrating its beauty while critiquing contemporary design that, in his view, lacks authenticity. John Ruskin (1819-1900), an influential art critic, social thinker, and philanthropist, was profoundly shaped by his early exposure to art and literature. His travels throughout Europe, particularly to Italy, deepened his appreciation for the aesthetic values of the past, prompting him to reflect critically on the relationship between society, art, and morality. His passion for architecture was not only rooted in aesthetics but also in a broader philosophical discourse about the moral responsibilities of artists and craftsmen. "Stones of Venice" is essential reading for anyone interested in the intersections of art, architecture, and societal values. RuskinAos insights challenge the reader to reconsider the implications of design and aesthetics in their own context, making it a timeless text that resonates with contemporary discussions on cultural heritage, craftsmanship, and ethical creation.

Standing in the nave of a cathedral, it is hard not to wonder how ordinary human beings could have created sky-scraping, dizzyingly high buildings on which even the top-most parts were delicately decorated, in an age before even the simplest of power tools. Stone on Stone presents the full story of the men who built the cathedrals of the medieval era: who they were, how they lived and how with the simplest of hand tools they created the astonishing buildings that hundreds of years later still stand as monuments to their ingenuity and skill. Topics covered include the context for building such huge places of worship; the men who built: who they were, and the challenges they had to face; finding the materials; construction techniques; building control and finally, who paid for it all.

Still Standing tells the story of the traditional wooden homes (known as ti kais) of Dominica in the eastern Caribbean. This gorgeously illustrated book pays tribute to these humble buildings that have withstood hurricanes and earthquakes since the end of slavery. Often ignored and now in danger from development, this unique vernacular architecture is is an important part of Dominicas rich creole culture.
