On the pioneering ecological urban strategies of a Spanish public consortiumBCNecologia (the Urban Ecology Agency of Barcelona) is a public consortium consisting of the City Council of Barcelona, the Municipal Council and Metropolitan Area of Barcelona and the Barcelona Provincial Council. BCNecologia has played a key role in defining a new urban model for Barcelona--a model that has placed the city at the forefront of worldwide urban transformations--by designing a superblock and orthogonal bus network strategy for the Catalan capital. BCNecologia: 20 years of the Urban Ecology Agency of Barcelona looks back at over 100 projects carried out by the Agency in cities across the world. These studies are presented through a tree with five themed branches that describe various sustainability indicators, superblock-based urban regeneration plans, new mobility and public space planning models, and environmental and circular economy-oriented proposals.

The Mexican architect offers new ideas about real-estate development in underrepresented areas, promoting inclusivity and community participation Caught between a zone of significant vehicular traffic and an area with the highest purchasing power in Cancún, the working-class community in the Mexican neighborhood of Donceles has been largely forgotten by the larger city to which it ostensibly belongs. With this in mind, Mexican architect Juan Carral (born 1976) conceived of Donceles Studios as a multipurpose building representative of the neighborhood's diverse social strata. In this text, Carral further explores the infrastructure of Donceles, noting its rich urban layout and its self-made architectural identity as well as its privileged location and more accessible cost of living. The result is a compelling argument for a new form of experimental real estate development based on participatory strategies and an inclusive ideology. Carral urges his fellow architects to approach real estate development with a wider lens, keeping in mind a long-term vision of the city we want to have.

Delve into the award-winning Catalan architecture studio's unique combination of material craft and avant-garde dynamismArgentinian architect Ricardo Flores (born 1965) and Spanish architect Eva Prats (born 1965) began their artistic partnership with the foundation of their studio in Barcelona in 1998. Since its conception, Flores & Prats has operated according to a design ethos that fuses craft with academia, approaching research and scholarship as a living practice that must result in the responsibility to make and to build. The studio has taken on a variety of projects with diverse functions in social housing, public spaces and university workshops. This volume compiles photography and analysis of Flores & Prats' best-known projects, such as the Museum of the Mills, Campus Microsoft Italia, and the New Theater Sala Beckett. Also included are examinations of the studio's experiments with portability, their use of film as a vehicle for architectural documentation and their recent menus of edible architecture created for special exhibitions in Barcelona and Copenhagen. Readers are guided through every stage of a single project's evolution from early sketches to detailed models to final construction. In addition to reproductions of such process material, Thought by Hand includes writing by a variety of artists influenced by Flores & Prats, including the Sala Beckett theater's director Toni Casares and renowned urban planner Manuel de Solà-Morales.

On the Mexican architects of such acclaimed spaces such as New York City's Cosme and AtlaTaller ADG is an architecture studio founded in 2012 by Alonso de Garay, based in Mexico City. This first extensive monograph of its work showcases the company's range through representative projects of different scales and typologies, including stadiums, houses, apartment buildings, housing prototypes and restaurants, such as the stunning and critically acclaimed designs for the New York City restaurants of chefs Enrique Olvera and Daniela Soto-Innes, Cosme and Atla. Lush photographs and intricate architectural models present these works, which blend Mexico's rich modernist past and its equally rich vernacular architecture. A powerful exemplar of this blend is the masterful Casas Izar: twin houses set into a forested hillside that, with their illusion of low slung volumes, alternating wood-slatted sloped roofs and rooftop gardens, seem to fade into the landscape from afar but from up close and inside, display the austere open plans and cathedral-like spaces of high modernism.

A look at a leading Peruvian architectural firm through 12 exemplary projectsFrom their Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize-winning design for the University of Piura educational facilities to their design for the Place of Remembrance in Lima, Barclay & Crousse's work binds together the most current advances in technology with designs that center on the quality of life of its dwellers. Their works show how design specific to the conditions of developing countries can inform and be vital to global architectural conversation. Founded in Paris by Sandra Barclay and Jean Pierre Crousse in 1994, the firm relocated to Lima, Peru, in 2006, pursuing their projects in Europe through Atelier Nord-Sud. This book presents 12 buildings illustrated through sketches, plans and over 120 photographs by Chilean photographer Cristóbal Palma.

Natural, upcycled and economical materials in buildings by Ecuadorian firm Al Borde"Less Is All" is the motto of Ecuadorian architecture firm Al Borde-founded in 2007 by Pascual Gangotena, David Barragán, Marialuisa Borja and Estevan Benavides. Naming Al Borde one of the top 100 architecture firms in the world in 2019, the editors of Domus wrote: "Convinced that the strength of an architectural project lies in the later autonomy of its users, Al Borde's design and decision-making process rely on the involvement of the community in all phases of planning and construction, and the systematic exploration of the local context." The materials they use and the projects they adopt reflect the state of a globalized Ecuador. For example, for their House of the Flying Beds Al Borde refurbished an 18th-century family house by restoring the rammed earth walls, installing tire rubber and recycled glass on the roof and suspending beds above the open-plan, ground-floor living area with eucalyptus trusses, thus maintaining the form of the house but turning the interior into something indubitably modern.

A Seattle architect's speculations on how architectural types--from chapels to lighthouses--narrate memory and lossSeattle-based architect Robert Hutchison's Memory Houses is a project that investigates mortality and memory through the lens of architecture. Speculatively situated along the banks of the Wye River on the Eastern Shore of Maryland where the architect grew up, architectural typologies such as dwelling, chapel, lighthouse and memorial weave together a spatial narrative about loss and recollection. Distant as well as more recent architectural memories make cameo appearances in the memory houses: the stave churches of Norway and the Great Mosque of Córdoba that Hutchison experienced as a child; the lighthouses of the Chesapeake Bay; the timber grain elevators of the Palouse; the Colosseum and the Santo Stefano Rotondo in Rome. This publication, with a hot-stamped cover and end sheets printed with Hutchinson's designs, documents the eight buildings that comprise the Memory Houses project, alongside built houses designed by Hutchison's Seattle-based firm Robert Hutchison Architecture.
