AV 135-136: SPAIN YEARBOOK 2009

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A year of Spanish architecture is collected in this yearbook and examined against the backdrop of a dramatic year that has left particularly deep economic wounds in the country. Guided by two articles by Luis Fernández-Galiano which survey the most important events of the year, the yearbook subsequently reviews a solid selection of twenty-four outstanding building projects. Clustered in six different themes such as Urban Culture, Sustainable Gathering and Residential Alternatives, all projects are captured through full-page colour photographs, plans and details, and accompanied by introductory notes. Featured alongside Herzog & de Meuron’s TEA project in Tenerife and and Moneo’s Deusto University Library, Bilbao, are such buildings as Alberto Campo Baeza’s Andalucian Museum of Memory, Granada, Nieto & Sobejano’s Congress Center, Zaragoza, MVRDV & Blanca Lleó’s Celosía Building in Sanchinarro, Madrid, and Chipperfield & b720 Arquitectos’ City of Justice, Barcelona.

The publication closes with a survey of architectural highs and lows found over the last year.
