77 - Luis Peña Ganchegui Following the series of architects they had their moment of greatest apotheosis in decades today's turn Ganchegui Luis Peña. And after visiting here its magnificent site, documented to the fullest, with a rich visual documentation of each of their projects, without great animation and design web to mask the reality, only showing its architecture. His most famous work is the Plaza Tennis in San Sebastian, poetry in stone written with the pen of another master, Eduardo Chillida. The papers presented on the web in part stem from a CD created on the occasion of an award in 1999, why not see their recent creations. It's funny how these teachers spend their last years away in popularity when it should be all contrario.Visitadla because surely go out with something learned.
76 - Quetglas, Master and Llinás Last week I attended a conference-puppet theater by Mestre Josep Bartomeu Quetglas and organized by the delegation of students from the ETSA of Seville. A Mestre did not know and certainly is an interesting character as they come. Quetglas And that means that you always learn. The conversation turned to the work of Josep Llinás, stopping at various themes in the work of this architect, his understanding of things. And exposed to the way the new work to be open these days, it is the Jaume Fuster Library in the Plaza de Lesseps in the Gracia district of Barcelona. Lack of main facade and the broken line that marks throughout the building as a continuation of the mountains seen in the background are some of the peculiarities highlighted in exposure. We will have to stop and look more thoroughly.
75 - Akira Sakamoto I could not very well determine whether the contemporary Japanese architecture is coming to the West or is it just the opposite. What is clear is that the production of architects such as Akira Sakamoto seems more typical of the style of someone born on the shores of the Mediterranean than someone from the Far East. Here on their website we can find most of his works, which include their homes, which would highlight among other details that achieved both natural lighting artificial achieved in all cases. The apparent simplicity that gets far from immediate guess it will be the fruit of that difficult process of removing unnecessary elements, but thought a moment, perhaps there is some privileged people who do not need this last step.
74 - 73 Rascacielos is curious interest that lift the skyscrapers in front of other buildings even in people who in principle are not at all interested in architecture. And speaking of skyscrapers have to talk about the biggest museum of skyscrapers there: New York. We can find lots of information, such as visiting my SkyscraperCity forum, but if I have any right now would recommend this to here, the Skyscraper Museum page and its various applications in which a totally ordered we can find many details and images skyscrapers registered there. Undoubtedly one step further on the topic of geolocation.
