En este ensayo, Jacobo García-Germán recorre algunas de las técnicas y genealogías asociadas a la idea de práctica documentalista, identificada con aquellos arquitectos cuyas formas de trabajo se alejan de la invencion, la originalidad o la novedad como objetivos, para operar en cambio desde la consciente reelaboracion de antecedentes. Una posicion que implica el manejo de un material de referencia prexistente su analisis, manipulacion, interpretacion y reensamblaje, en un proceso que se considera proyecto en si mismo.

Este libro resume la participación de las cuatro diputaciones provinciales gallegas (A Coruña, Lugo, Ourense y Pontevedra) en la Exposición Iberoamericana de Sevilla en 1929 en el Pabellón de Galicia. Materializada a traves de las respectivas diputaciones provinciales, las diversas regiones españolas tuvieron presencia como parte de un proyecto politico-propagandistico del regimen de Primo de Rivera fundamentado en la exaltacion de la unidad nacional. La obra analiza las caracteristicas y particularidades del pabellon de Galicia, que fue desmontado a la clausura del certamen. Ademas se reflejan las obras de arte expuestas (unas historicas y otras realizadas expresamente para la muestra), aportandose noticias sobre la localizacion actual de las pieza, la vision de la region que se proyectaba al resto del pais y a la comunidad internacional, sin olvidar la polemica sobre el posible origen gallego de Cristobal Colon.

Chiara Curti is an architect with a PhD in Art History. She specialises in the life and work of Gaudi? and has worked on the crypt and the Nativity fac?ade of the Sagrada Fami?lia. In this book, The Sagrada Fami?lia, the Cathedral of Light, Curti and Gaudi? lead us through the basilica on a visit that transcends the very essence of the building and reveals to us the light that illuminates it on a path towards beauty, or truth. Because, as the author says, ?beauty is matter illuminated?, and Gaudi? shows us that ?beauty is the splendour of truth?. And on this path, Curti reveals aspects and images of the basilica that have never been mentioned or seen before and now, thanks to the magnificent photographs by Pere Vivas, we can all share in.

La historia de una ciudad puede interpretarse a través de su espacio urbano. Sin embargo, la morfología urbana no habla por sí sola. Las ciudades no son sólo espacios construidos: son también espacios vividos. La posibilidad de leer una ciudad nos remite a su pasado, a su estructura social y espacial, pero tambien a las historias que nos cuentan como fue vista y vivida por sus coetaneos. Las ciudades se nos presentan en este sentido como espacios narrativamente mediados, un repositorio de la memoria individual y colectiva de sus habitantes que nos es transmitido a traves de sus relatos, creaciones y legado personal. Este volumen explora una serie de ciudades del mundo a traves de autores y artistas para quienes alguna de ellas jugo un papel fundamental en su vida y en su obra.
