Description
WINNER of the RIBA International Book Awards 2008 - Architectural PracticeAward
Another monumentally informative and balletically elegant tome from Manel Padura, whose project of documenting Spanish architecture goes from strength to strength. This work, in English only, features a conversation with Ferrater before documenting his entire career, from 1971 student intervention Instant City, a hippie dream of colourful inflatables, to current drawing board work such as Casa AA, an orthogonal network based on 45 degree angles. This is a total of 63 projects, described in superb detail with plenty of images and plans. Ranging in scale from a downhome guest pavilion on Menorca to town halls, housing estates and the new Barcelona airport, this is the definitive guide to a significant architect.
What the Judges said:
"The book of our choice stands out and demands to be picked up, opened and read. The graphic style, layout, quality of imagery, photography and overall design is consistently high. It is very clear in wanting to communicate the office's core values, the essence of the work and the consistent themes throughout the years. It is undoubtedly a production of high quality and physiognomic supremacy. If any book succeeds in being representational of the output of the office it stands for, then this is definitely the book."
