Vicente Guallart
 
 
 
Vicente Guallart, pioneer of interaction between nature, technology and architecture examines the urban, social and cultural changes in our information society for new urban building. Presenting the last 15 years of his work, this book investigates architecture’s ability to construct systems for inhabitable environments in diverse environmental, social, and economic conditions. He crosses boundaries through collaborations in geology, sociology, engineering, economics, software and interface design. His projects follow a "natural" logic, referring to components originating in nature, as well as to environmental systems. A logic that connects nature with the transformations of urban spaces, social organizations, and the digital world.

CRITICS CHOICE
¨Vicente Guallart's humanism is reflected in his natural environments...Acknowledging the contribution of specialists from other disciplines -- [Guallart] has created a kind of manual for analysing and intervening in the world, with natural order in all its intricacy as the base.¨THE ARCHITECTS' JOURNAL

“Guallart’s is one of the finest because of how effortlessly he pries apart old credos regarding supposed irreconcilable differences between Nature and high-tech. Best of all, he creates an original and practical vocabulary for thinking through designs to reconcile these seeming contraries.“ ArchNewsNow
