This unique book features an interview conducted by Hans Ulrich Obrist with Norman Foster on the topic of his unrealised projects.The interview, conducted in 2019, has been carefully transcribed and edited into written form. The book features an introduction by Hans Ulrich Obrist who rightly points out that the subject of unrealised projects is often not well explored, even for architects such as Norman Foster.Beginning with the early years of Fosters career, the interview traces the various reasons why some projects remain unrealisedfrom politics and finances to misleading competition guidelines. It becomes clear that whilst a project may be unrealised, elements from its design can later be incorporated into realised projects, sometimes even decades later.This publication includes a small ion of drawings from the Norman Foster Foundation Archive that illustrate some of the unrealised projects that Foster and Obrist discuss. The result is a compact and intimate telling of Norman Fosters career from a different perspective, one which celebrates projects big and small, realised and unrealised.

Fundado en 1966 por Adolfo Natalini y Cristiano Toraldo di Francia, a los que más tarde se unieron Gian Piero Frassinelli, Roberto y Alessandro Magris y Alessandro Poli, Superstudio fue uno de los grupos mas influyentes de la llamada arquitectura radical. El grupo nacio en un momento fructifero de crisis marcado por la tragica inundacion de Florencia de 1966 y por las fuertes tensiones politicas y sociales en Italia, pero tambien en una epoca de gran renovacion artistica y linguistica. Su obra ha influido en mas de una generacion de arquitectos, historiadores, diseñadores y artistas, y esta presente en muchos de los museos mas importantes del mundo.Este libro recoge las conversaciones que Gabriele Mastrigli mantuvo con tres de los protagonistas del grupo (Natalini, Toraldo di Francia y Frassinelli), ilustradas todas ellas con muchas de las imagenes que hicieron famoso a Superstudio y que dan cuenta de su intento mas ambicioso de abordar la relacion entre vida y proyecto a traves de una refundacion antropologica y filosofica radical de la arquitectura.

La seleccion de imagenes, supervisada por la unidad de Archivo de la Norman Foster Foundation es tan eclectica que desafia la categorizacion.

Glamour scholarship and superlative storytelling an enthralling read LUCY WORSLEY Adrian Tinniswood opens the doors on the excess intrigue and absurdities of life in the late Victorian and Edwardian country house In the decades before the First World War the owners of the nation s stately homes revelled in a golden age of glory and glamour Nothing lay beyond their reach in a world where privilege and hedonism went hand in hand with duty and honour This was a time when the ancestral seats of ancient nobility stood side by side with the fabulous palaces of Jewish bankers and Indian princes when dukes and duchesses mixed with aristocratic society hostesses who had learned to dance in the chorus line and self made millionaires who had been raised in the slums of Manchester and Birmingham The Power and the Glory explores the country house during this golden age when Britain ruled over a quarter of the world s population when its stately homes were at their most opulent and when for the privileged few life in the country house was the best life of all A wonderful book JUDITH FLANDERS Scintillating and brilliant from a master of the subject GARETH RUSSELL

José María García de Paredes. Espacios de encuentro, comisariada por la arquitecta Ángela García de Paredes, conmemora el centenario del nacimiento de uno de los principales arquitectos españoles en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, conocido principalmente por sus proyectos de arquitectura publica, entre los que destacan los grandes auditorios. La exposicion ofrece una panoramica de las obras mas emblematicas del artista, mostrando una amplia perspectiva de su legado arquitectonico, en el que destaca su enfoque innovador y su influencia en la arquitectura moderna española. Asi, la muestra recorre cuatro decadas de trabajo -desde 1950 hasta 1990- mediante imagenes ineditas de sus proyectos mas iconicos, como el Auditorio Nacional de Musica o el Colegio Mayor Aquinas -con Rafael de La-Hoz-, ambos realizados en Madrid. Ademas, suobra se pone en contexto con el rico panorama cultural, arquitectonico y artistico de su tiempo -con muchos de cuyos mas destacados representantes colaboro estrechamente-, destacando su vinculo con la musica. La muestra es fruto de la colaboracion entre la Fundacion ICO y el Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, que ha llevado a cabo -con la estrecha asistencia de Angela y de Manuel Garcia de Paredes- la rigurosa catalogacion del material original del archivo Garcia de Paredes, donado por la familia a la institucion en 2021 y del que el Museo ICO ha recibido en prestamo mas de 400 obras, entre planos, maquetas, dibujos o fotografias.
