Description
Serious architecture for serious architecture fans. The 'rehabilitation' of the title refers to the fact that all the buildings featured herein are restorations, transformations or new buildings on old sites ("interventions in the built heritage" as the idiosyncratically translated introduction puts it). 33 different projects are presented in considerable detail, each pre-existing site meaning a different challenge for the architect(s). Names such as Ferrater, Puente and Moneo are all featured. This two-volume cased set provides a fascinating insight into modern Spanish architecture's response to its heritage.
