The buildings burned in our memories, which to us represent the spirit of fifties and sixties architectural design, were those whose pictures were widely published in magazines and books; but what about those that got lost in the process, hardly or never appearing in publication? The exchange of visual information is crucial to the development, evolution, and promotion of architectural movements. If a building is not widely seen, its photograph rarely or never published, it simply does not enter into architectural discourse. Many buildings photographed by Julius Shulman suffered this fate, their images falling into oblivion. With this book, TASCHEN brings them to light, paying homage to California Modernism in all its forms. The abandoned files of Julius Shulman show us another side of Modernism that has stayed quiet for so many years. Bringing together nearly 250 forgotten masterpieces, Modernism Rediscovered pays tribute to these lesser known yet outstanding contributions to the modern architectural movement. It''s like sneaking into a private history, into homes that have rarely been seen and hardly appreciated as of yet.

Mais de quatro anos depois, a Arquitectura Ibérica regressa a um dos corpos mais próximos da Arquitectura, os museus. Desde sempre ligados a espaços de referência, estes centros de cultura reclamam também para si um olhar artístico de uma outra arte exterior, a Arquitectura. Helena Barranha fala-nos de "Objectos singulares, lugares reconhecíveis: breve olhar sobre a arquitectura de museus no território ibérico". Nas restantes páginas, abrimos ao público sete museus, de Arraiolos a Vila Velha, de Geira a Bragança, passando por Espanha e saltando da península para fora para conhecer a Galeria Adriana Varejão Inhotim. Por baixo assinam-se Eduardo Souto de Moura, Carvalho Araújo, António Belém Lima, entre outros.
