"In the work of Enric Miralles the site, whether natural landscape or urban grid, is always at the forefront of the design. In the Igualada Cemetery, the topographical order is framed by angular lines and trenches, yet the sloping concrete embankments, overhanging parapets and converging edges relate to the setting as the first perceived elements within the overall perspective of space. The disciplines of architecture and landscape are f ..."

"This volume brings together three projects by Joan Fontcuberta, projects that partake of a critical practice of photography within the context of contemporary art. In "Constellations", "Haemograms" and "Semiopolis" paradox, ambiguity, trompe-l'oeil and the investigation of the photographic trace form the common nexus. As in the successive episodes of the cult TV series "The Twilight Zone", these images beat a path towards hidden but eve ..."
"En los últimos años, términos como pureza geométrica, precisión técnica, depuración ornamental y abstracción han sido y son frecuentemente resumidos en una sola palabra: minimalismo. Este libro establece la posible genealogía de un concepto -entre el arte y la arquitectura- cuya fortuna en el lenguaje cotidiano trasciende cualquier disciplina.
