Essays on Thermodynamics, Architecture and Beauty, is a book that unfolds arguments and designs around the concept of "thermodynamic beauty". This new aesthetic category opens up new and unexpected directions to the architect's work, connecting architecture and thermodynamics without giving up the tectonic tradition. The compendium will be developed through the concepts of Somatisms, Monsters Assemblage, Verticalism and Thermodynamic Materialism, summarizing design strategies, and opening new territories at the scales of building, public space and landscape

Este trabajo pretende cubrir el vacío existente en el estudio de las construcciones industriales viguesas erigidas durante el primer tercio del siglo XX, o sea, en un momento de especial pujanza para el sector fabril local y que ha dejado muchos vestigios en su geografia urbana.

In the Age of Environment, the scale of waste management is geographic all while often relegating such undesired matter to invisibility as "matter out of place." Geographies of Trash reclaims the role of forms, technologies, economies and logistics of the waste system in the production of new aesthetics and politics of urbanism. Honored with a 2014 ACSA Faculty Design Award, the book charts the geographies of trash in Michigan across scales to propose five speculative projects that bring to visibility disciplinary controversies on the relations of technology, space and politics.

Esta completa monografía referida á vida e obra do arquitecto Jenaro de la Fuente Domínguez ven cubrir un imperdonable baleiro no estudo dun dos máis grandes e prolíficos artífices da gran arquitectura historica viguesa que, no transito do seculo XIX o XX, conformaron o nucleo do que ven sendo o Vigo actual, xunto con arquitectos do nivel de Michel Pacewicz ou Manuel Gomez Roman, entre outros.

Una antología de textos que resume y representa, muy expresivamente, una bibliografía temática, realizada por los miembros del Grupo de Investigación "Teoría y crítica del proyecto y de la arquitectura moderna y contemporanea", de la Escuela de Arquitectura de Madrid. Asi pues, articulos o capitulos de Anton Capitel, Juan Antonio Cortes, Luis Rojo, Enrique de Teresa, Aurora Fernandez, Rafael Guridi, Maria Teresa Muñoz, Pedro Feduchi y Sergio de Miguel componen la antologia, que introduce y presenta uma bibliografia ordenada tematicamente y de modo empirico, y capaz asi de iniciar la composicion de lo que puede entenderse como teoria y critica. Un trabajo muy expresivo, pero que tan solo es el arranque de una labor en progreso que el grupo aspira a completar hacia la totalidad del ensayo español e, incluso, en las lenguas castellana e ibericas.

En torno a una revista académica, un grupo de profesores de Proyectos de Arquitectura de varias universidades españolas, llevan ya algunos años promoviendo y dando a conocer textos teóricos y críticos acerca de nuestra disciplina, capaces de situar esta actividad en el centro que le corresponde dentro de las actividades de la investigacion arquitectonica.Hemos agrupado para esta antologia sus contenidos en tres capitulos distintos: Analisis critico de temas de la arquitectura moderna, Analisis critico de temas de arquitectura contemporanea y Temas teoricos y criticos.

Analytic Models in Architecture documents Yale School of Architecture student work from the undergraduate studio course The Analytic Model: Descriptive and Interpretive Systems in Architecture, taught by Emmanuel Petit from 2005 to 2014. The projects are organized according to a set of ten conceptual categories that emphasize varyingstrategies of formal analysis: Aggregation, Cinematics, Condensation, Diagrammatics, DNA, Fluid Interlocking, Fragmentation, Morphology, Seriality, and Thickened 2-D.

At a time when fundamentals of design education are being questioned and studios are being used as laboratories for everything ranging from design-build and fabrication practices to community service, material research, and multidisciplinary incubators, this volume of Catalyst positions the current pedagogy at the University of Virginia School of Architecture within an extended history of the school through an archival project that traces the lineages of its faculty. It considers design pedagogy through the lens of the formative experiences and agendas of the faculties of the Departments of Architecture and Landscape Architecture, examining their role in shaping the schools direction, independent of top-down mandates and institutional agendas.

As the title of the book suggests, the ambition to exhibit architecture entails always a paradox: how to exhibit something as large and complex as a building or a city, and how to communicate something as elusive as an architectural experience that unfolds in space and time? To be sure, architecture poses a challenge to exhibition as a medium; indeed, what do we exactly exhibit when we exhibit architecture: should we be satisfied to exhibit photographs of buildings and sites, or should be aim to put whole buildings or, if that is not possible, fragments and models of them on display? These were among the questions the organizers posed to a group of architectural and art historians, practicing architects, and curators, who were invited to participate to contribute essays to the book. Their discussions address not only the exhibition as a medium, but challenge the stability of the preconceived idea of what architecture is by opening up a range of possibilities as to how architecture is made, experienced, and discussed. Exhibiting Architecture: A Paradox? brings together, in print form, the lectures, paper presentations, and panel discussions that took place at the eponymous symposium at the Yale School of Architecture in Fall 2013. Contributors include Barry Bergdoll, Mari Lending, Wallis Miller, Romy Golan, Paula Burleigh, Craig Buckley, Mark Wasiuta, Simon Sadler, Federica Vannucchi, Andres Kurg, Helena Mattson, Liane Lefaivre, Lea-Catherine Szacka, Irene Sunwoo, David Andrew Tasman, Eeva-Liisa Pelkonen, Brennan Buck, Carson Chan, Arianne Lourie-Harrison, Nina Rappaport, Joel Sanders, Pedro Gadanho, Eva Franch, Andrea Phillips, and Henry Urbach.

El estudio de las instituciones eclesiásticas y concretamente de los monasterios medievales se inserta en una línea historiográfica bien asentada en la Península, la mayor parte de las veces como complemento de una coleccion documental mas o menos trabajada. Entre todo el abanico de asentamientos monasticos resalta el de San Salvador de Chantada.El presente volumen tiene como proposito recuperar, reunir y transcribir todos los pergaminos conservados, para acometer una historia lo mejor documentada posible del antiguo monasterio de Chantada hasta el siglo XVI.
