AV 133: FRANCISCO MANGADO

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A master of Spanish architecture, Francisco Mangado has conceived his built works in permanent dialogue with social and political developments which has led him to exercise a contextual, technical and economic responsibility, rather than the pursuit of a career based on authorship and language. Arranged under a personal set of fundamental rules, this issue of AV surveys ten of the architect’s works in chronological order. Projects such as his Congress Center and Auditorium in Pamplona; the Exhibition and Congress Center, Ávila; the Soccer Stadium, Palencia; and the Expo 2008 Spanish Pavilion, Zaragoza are featured, all accompanied by colour photographs, technical drawings and explanations by the architect. The review is introduced by two essays, written respectively by Jorge Francisco Liernur and Kenneth Frampton.
