Crímenesdiferidoseneltiempo: unrelatosobrelospecados delurbanismo y laarquitectura.Desastres que parecen accidentes. Una presa que funciona, pero mata. Un teatro que se hunde con los espectadores dentro. Una fabrica que colapsa sobre quienes cosen ropa para el primer mundo. Y un interrogante: ¿que fallo durante la DANA que arraso Valencia en 2024? Pedro Torrijos entrelaza historias reales, explora la fragilidad del mundo contemporaneo y nos descubre el rostro oculto de la arquitectura cuando se convierte en una sentencia aplazada.--------------La coleccion Endebate es el hogar de aquellos textos breves que presentan una opinion, defienden una actitud o cuentan una historia, pero son mas un aperitivo que un banquete, estimulan la conversacion mas que saciarla e inician un festin (que no clausuran). Como los mejores bocados, entran por los ojos y dejan un largo poso en el paladar.La critica ha dicho:Nunca se si Pedro Torrijos esta loco o es un genio. Supongo que es una mezcla. Lo que si se es que me encanta leer lo que escribe. Juan TallonOriginalidad, solidez y belleza, tres cualidades de la arquitectura literaria de Pedro Torrijos. El talento de un relator de historias fascinantes en las que querras quedarte a vivir. Raquel Martos

Charles Rennie Mackintosh was an innovator.He is undoubtedly one of Scotlands most celebrated architects. His astounding buildings creatively reinterpreted the past and opened the way for the Modern Movement. Architecture was his first love, though he was also a highly accomplished artist and designer of interiors, furniture, metalwork, glass and textiles. In addition his graphic design work, using nature and organic plant forms, made him an early exponent of Symbolism and Art Nouveau.

His extraordinary work is still regarded today as innovative and modern, and continues to astonish and delight art lovers everywhere.

Building on the premise that landscapes provide a common ground where different kinds of knowledge may come together, this edited volume draws on a wide range of disciplines, including geology and geography, cultural anthropology and philosophy, architecture and art history. It suggests that the complex social and environmental crises of the 21st century cannot be understood independently of a historically constituted aesthetic approach to landscapes.Boulouki is a collective that deals with the traditional knowledge of building. Under the Landscape (Santorini and Therasia, 2021 2022), one of the collectives most important projects, comprised a participatory restoration, research into local materials, an exhibition and a symposium, and is the basis and starting point of this publication.
