TdB Architects (ENG ED.)

Juan Trias de BesTdB Architects accredits extensive experience in the field of building and urban planning since 1992.

Juan Trias de Bes From the understanding that architecture is at the service of society, its tasks include values such as the transmission of the identity of corporations and companies, the contribution to territorial and urban implantation, the quality of the environment, the control of resources energy, the contribution to the health of users and the maintenance of buildings over time.

Urban mix

Urban Mix (ENG ED.)

Stéphane Lemoine / AP5Essay on the devices and attitudes observable in urban crossroads of 8 major world cities. The exploration focuses on the movements of all mobiles and the resulting choreographies.

Explorations of Eight Crossings Around the World: Movements & Interactions Stéphane Lemoine / AP5 Mobility questions our ways of inhabiting the city. They are attached to multiple social approaches, constrained by the geography of the city and linked to the available energies. However, their deployments and their effects in the urban space remain little studied as an everyday experience. The frequentation of the city is mainly observed as a saturation or an animation and in an abstract and numerical way. But what is the nature of the movements in the cities, the daily life of more than half of the inhabitants of the planet? Resulting from a crossroads, the city has grown so much that we no longer look at how people meet in the central squares. What are the speeds, rhythms, interactions, trajectories, specificities in an urban square? Many data relate to flows, but most often with a finality on the speed

Cuca de Llum

Mias Architects & LeitnerThis book describes the design process of the new Cuca de Llum funicular in Tibidabo Park, Barcelona.

Funicular Tibidabo Barcelona Mias Architects & Leitner This book tells the story of the new funicular of Tibidabo Park: la Cuca de Llum (glow worm). The emblematic funicular has been rehabilitated several times since its installation in 1901, however, in 2020 it was decided to design a new funicular, which was to be sustainable, transparent, fast and accessible. The new funicular, designed by MIAS in collaboration with Leitner Ropeways, achieves maximum integration into the landscape by hiding its installations, and thus enables the best views of the city of Barcelona. This book shows not only the history of the park and its funicular, but also all the details of its innovative design and connection to the city. With Contributions of Rosa Ortiz, PATSA Director Martin Leitner, LEITNER ROPEWAYS director Josep Miàs, MIAS founder & director

Mobile Theater (ENG ED.)

Fernando Quesadathis book traces the architectural counterculture of that time and the relations with the alternative performing arts

Architectural Counterculture on Stage Fernando Quesada Architect Javier Navarro de Zuvillaga (1942) graduated in 1968 at Madrid School of Architecture. During the academic year 1970-1971 he travelled from Madrid to London thanks to a grant of the British Council to complete his postgraduate training at the Architectural Association. There he designed a building called Mobile Theater. It was a theatrical device composed of several 8 x 2,5 meters trucks carefully designed, which contained all the building elements needed to shape a space for the performing arts or other collective uses. The assembly time —estimated for four workers— was six and a half hours. This project was internationally showed and published between 1971 and 1975, but was never built. This book intends to release this project, largely ignored by canonical historiography, and to culturally place it in time and space: the agitated city of London in 1971. After the convulsions of May 1968,

Pure Space

Pure Space (ENG ED.)

Elisa SilvaThe publication is not intended to serve only as a catalogue, guide, or manual on how to produce public space in spontaneous settlements. Rather, it goes beyond the aims of an index of best practices.

Expanding the Public Sphere through Public Space Transformations in Latin American Spontaneous Settlements Elisa Silva The publication is not intended to serve only as a catalogue, guide, or manual on how to produce public space in spontaneous settlements. Rather, it goes beyond the aims of an index of best practices. It is intended, instead, as an empirical base for a critical and theoretical engagement with the problematic of development, social inclusion, public investment, (in)formal settlement, civil society and the public sphere. The publication achieves its final function at this third level, by providing a compelling argument to expand the agency of architects and urban designers and creatively find ways of justifying, financing, and building public spaces in communities —spaces that have a catalytic effectiveness in achieving significant urban and social transformation.

Yona Friedman- Pro Domo

Yona Friedman / Pro Domo ( SP ED. )

Yona FriedmanIn this initial manifesto, Friedman claims that architectural knowledge cannot be the exclusive property of professionals and specialists

Yona Friedman In 1958 Yona Friedman published his first manifesto on "mobile architecture" and founded GEAM (Groupe d'Etude d'Architecture Mobile), which proposed different strategies and actions geared to the adaptation of architectural creation to modern user requirements for social and physical mobility. In this initial manifesto, Friedman claims that architectural knowledge cannot be the exclusive property of professionals and specialists, and suggests writing guides or manuals, which explain topics related to architecture and urban planning in clear and simple terms. Pro Domo is "a collection of fragments of scattered topics," a set of "milestones" selected by the author himself, a personal selection chosen “according to sentimental value”, spanning 50 years of production.
