Las zonas costeras concentran mayor densidad de población que otras partes del territorio. Esto lleva a que la presión del hombre sobre los paisajes del litoral no cese. Se aletarga ligeramente en los paises mas afectados por la crisis economica pero se intensifica en aquellos que experimentan mayor desarrollo, y en muchas ocasiones, sin fijar la vista atras en los aciertos y errores cometidos en otros lugares. A su vez, la subida generalizada del nivel del mar obliga a replantearse la forma de entender el limite entre la tierra y el mar. En todo caso, la manera de actuar en estos paisajes deberia ser representativa del respeto que merece el oceano. Respeto no solo porque la costa puede ser un paisaje cambiante y agresivo con las intervenciones del hombre, sino tambien respeto a los ecosistemas marinos en su conjunto, dado que en buena medida, de su riqueza y buen estado general depende el planeta. Una vez mas esperamos que los proyectos y experiencias que mostramos en este nuevo numero, al igual que los recogidos en nuestro numero inaugural en febrero de 2007, sirvan de ejemplo y hagan reflexionar a nuestros lectores.

Sin embargo, todas ellas tienen algo en comun: ¡son fabulosas!

Architecture and engineering are changing. But what about the relationship between architects and engineers?Architects and engineers both claim to be designers, though how they define design and the approaches they use to realize it, vary widely. However their interaction has also created some of the world's most memorable, enduring and impressive buildings. The unprecedented impact of digital technologies illuminates the complexity and non-linearity of the process that these designers go through while massively expanding both the ability to visualize and represent forms, and to analyze their structural behavior. It has obviously changed both architecture and engineering, and so also the potential for interaction between them. Interdisciplinary Design began as a course at Harvard GSD attended by graduate students in architecture and also by MIT graduate students in structural engineering and computation. In this course students and instructors examined a series of built projects in order to develop new viewpoints and communication across disciplinary boundaries in teaching, practice and construction.Co- publication with Harvard University- GSD- USA.

The architect of the Paris Opera and the Monte Carlo Casino, Jean-Louis Charles Garnier (1825-1898), launched in May 1868 a trip to Spain 25 days duration in which he toured the country from north to south. He was accompanied by his wife, Louise Bary, and two friends Ambroise Baudry the architect and the painter Gustave Clarence Boulanger. Garnier and Boulanger left a valuable journal of the Spanish experience, entitled Itineraire d''un Voyage en Espagne, where along with practical travel details (budgets, expenses, accommodation and transport), scoring short-and often insightful comments in prose and verse jocular tone-on cities and monuments, some appreciated and criticized other mercilessly.However, the most precious material for the trip to Spain consists of the pen drawings of architect and painter, landscapes, genre scenes and caricatures of the trio; and, above all, urban views and designs of buildings, recording his likes and historiographical phobias, and glimpses the effect that could have on Spanish architecture style Garnier. Are nearly 300 images, 250 of them made in Spanish territory, and relevant to your trip by French lands thirties.This issue brings to light for the first time this extraordinary unpublished notebook of Charles Garnier. A neat edition in two volumes with case, including facsimile reproduction rate Travelogue, plus a Spanish translation and three preliminary studies on the architect and his time. A beautiful publication for the general public, who is invited to contemplate century and a half later, the image of Spain in an exciting new light.

The project represents a determination to recognize, appreciate and reformulate the specificity of local Catalan architecture in contrast with the global and franchised architecture that has been dominant in recent years. The starting point is Bofarull House (1913-1933), one of the key works of Josep Maria Jujol. In this Tarragonan architect's way of working we can identify an attitude that can be traced through many projects built in the last century and which is based on an intensive dialogue with pre-existing features (physical or otherwise) that enable a project including and blending new and existing elements to be developed, just as cuttings are grafted to a tree.

RAFAEL MONEO VALLÉS (Tudela, 1937) es el único Premio Pritzker español, pero junto a la excelencia artística que esa distinción celebra, la influyente trayectoria del arquitecto navarro está marcada por la dimension intelectual de sus proyectos y por una vocacion pedagogica que se ha expresado a traves de su generosa dedicacion a la enseñanza en Madrid, Barcelona y la estadounidense universidad de Harvard.La entrevista de Luis Fernandez-Galiano recorre minuciosamente los hitos de su larga carrera, desde su formacion con Oiza y Utzon, y los años clave de su estancia en la Academia de España en Roma, que le llevaron a configurar una sintesis de modernidad y clasicismo en obras refinadas y contextuales como la madrileña sede de Bankinter, el Ayuntamiento de Logroño o el Museo de Arte Romano de Merida, una realizacion magistral que consolidaria su prestigio internacional; obras todas ellas, como los numerosos museos posteriores de Estocolmo a Houston-, el Kursaal de San Sebastian, la Catedral de Los Angeles o la exquisita ampliacion del Ayuntamiento de Murcia, que el arquitecto ha entendido como lecciones construidas, ejemplares expresiones de una variedad de problemas disciplinares que aborda mediante la herramienta del proyecto.

The Connection_ project aims to create a network of cultural connections between cities as a means of spreading the values of urbanism and architecture. A series of architecture exhibitions are the focus of this project, which also offers other events such as conferences and meetings between universities; intended to create synergies between the professional architects involved. Barcelona has become a brand recognized worldwide, of which more disciplines have contributed to the recognition of the city popping architecture and urbanism. One of the main elements of the 'Barcelona Model' is the quality of residential buildings. Currently a younger generation of architects has been able to address the issue of new housing programs responding to the new social demands and urban areas. The Connection_Export Barcelona project tracks new types and new ways to integrate social housing and urban public space, creating new synergies for urban real estate that, during the boom years, had been abandoned.

El libro comienza con un artículo introductorio que estudia los principales modelos nacionales, tanto teóricos como construidos, que pudieron servir de referentes a los arquitectos españoles seleccionados. Bajo este prisma se analizan las siguientes obras: el Instituto Laboral de Daimiel de Miguel Fisac, las Escuelas del Batan de Francisco Javier Saenz de Oiza, la Universidad Laboral de Almeria de Julio Cano Lasso, el colegio Elvira España de Rafael Moneo y un proyecto escolar no construido de Alberto Campo Baeza.

Esta guía toma como punto de arranque, y de modo intencionado, el año en que se celebraron las primeras elecciones municipales. Abarca, pues, el período de gestión democrática de la ciudad, desde 1979 hasta la actualidad. En este tiempo, han sido multiples las transformaciones que se llevaron a cabo haciendo especial hincapie en el ambito urbano y social.La conexion entre los diversos barrios, la creacion de nuevas plazas y, sobre todo, las infraestructuras producidas com motivo de las Olimpiadas de 1992 pusieron las bases de un nuevo modelo urbano, que en los ultimos quince años no ha dejado de recibir los elogios de profesionales de todo el mundo.En esta guia recogemos, con abundante y actualizada informacion grafica, desde los mas modestos planes de acondicionamiento urbano, hasta los grandes proyectos realizados por los mas reconocidos arquitectos: Herzog & de Meuron, Arata Isozaki, Norman Foster, Toyo Ito, Jean Nouvel...Esta guia de bolsillo trilingue (español, catalan, ingles) incluye una exhaustiva y actualizada documentacion y recoge la evolucion de la arquitectura y el urbanismo de Barcelona, desde los inicios hasta nuestros dias.
