Description
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. - from Amzon
