ARQUITECTURA Y DISEÑO

Desde su primera edición en 1980, la Historia crítica de la arquitectura moderna de Kenneth Frampton se ha convertido en un clásico imprescindible dentro de la bibliografía académica sobre historia de la arquitectura moderna. En esta quinta edición ampliamente revisada y actualizada, el autor ha añadido una nueva y extensa sección que explora al detalle la evolución del Movimiento Moderno en la arquitectura en todo el mundo a finales del siglo xx y principios del xxi. En ella, se examinan las diversas formas en que los arquitectos no solo responden a los contextos geográficos, climáticos, materiales y culturales, sino que siguen también distintas líneas de enfoque en relación a la topografía, la morfología, la sostenibilidad y la forma cívica.

Through the turbulent passage of time, graphic design—with its vivid, neat synthesis of image and idea—has distilled the spirit of each age. Surrounding us every minute of every day, from minimalist packaging to colorful adverts, smart environmental graphics to sleek interfaces: graphic design is as much about transmitting information as it is about reflecting society’s cultural aspirations and values.

Acclaimed for popularizing modernism with mainstream American homeowners, Hunt curated and created chic modern furniture that made high-end design accessible to audiences beyond New York and Los Angeles.

Among guava trees and abandoned forts in Western India is a sanctuary designed for and by Kamal Malik of Malik Architecture. The House of Three Streams is a sprawling spectacle with high ceilings, verandas, and pavilions, perched atop a ridge overlooking two ravines. A medley of steel, glass, wood, and stone, the house weaves along the contour of the landscape, almost as an extension of the forest. Encina House by Aranguren & Gallegos, an elegant, sloping structure reminiscent of a gazebo, similarly inhabits its surrounding vista. Ensconced in a pine forest north of Madrid, the lower level is embedded in rock and connected to the upper by a natural stone wall. Shinichi Ogawa’s Seaside House is an immaculate two-story minimalist marvel in Kanagawa that overlooks the Pacific. Its living area spills onto a cantilevered terrace and infinity pool, almost dissolving into the ocean as one seamless entity. In Vietnam, Shunri Nishizawa’s House in Chau Doc exudes tropical sophistication with exposed timber beams, woven bamboo, plants, concrete panels, and inner balconies and terraces. Its corrugated iron panels act as moveable walls and shutters, ushering in views of surrounding rice fields.
