Frank Lloyd Wright

Resumen del Ebook

Widely thought to be the greatest American architect, Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) was a true pioneer, both artistically and technically. At a time when reinforced concrete and steel were considered industrial building materials, Wright boldly made use of them to build private homes. His prairie house concept - that of a low, sprawling home based upon a simple L or T figure - was the driving force behind some of his most famous houses and became a model for rural architecture across America. Wright’s designs for office and public buildings were equally groundbreaking and unique. From Fallingwater to New York’s Guggenheim Museum, his works are among the most famous in the history of architecture.

Vicente Galicia

Vicente Galicia (b. Spain 1901, arrived in Colombia in 1926- d. Barranquilla 1992) was a Basque architect and Claretian missionary-priest who left behind an important architectural legacy in Colombia, particularly in the Department of Choc and the cities of Barranquilla and Medellín. Architect and urban historian González Escobar presents a brief biography highlighting the architectural accomplishments of this celebrated architect-constructer who created his most prominent works between 1942 and 1945.

Casas unifamiliares

The private single family house is still very much the preferred choice of home. Yet in recent years there have been many changes not only in the personal situations of the residents, their expectations and desires, but also in the rising costs of energy and raw materials. This has meant that issues such as multi-functionalism, the use of innovative building materials or energy-efficient building methods are increasing in significance. These topical developments have been taken into consideration. The authors introduce floor plan solutions using contemporary projects which bear in mind...

Patrimonios, espacios y territorios

De acuerdo con el historiador Rafael Díaz Díaz, este libro es un tejido de lugares, no solo porque habla de maneras de hilar territorios, sino además porque concibe, de entrada, el espacio como una red en permanente estado de imbricación, de construcción y de nominación, eso sí, atizado por la pugna, por la contravención, en un juego de poderes y contrapoderes, que transitan desde “la ciudad experta” hasta los rizomas de la territorialidad. En este escenario, se vislumbra un esfuerzo provechoso de interdisciplinariedad que, partiendo de la arquitectura, se articula con los...
