In Enric Miralles's work, the site - whether natural landscape or urban grid - is always at the forefront of the final design. At the Igualada Cemetery, situated on the outskirts of Barcelona, the topographical order is framed by sinuous curves and trenches, yet the concrete embankments, overhanging parapets and converging edges relate to the setting as the initially perceived elements within the overall perspective of the space. The disciplines of architecture and landscape are here fused to create a place of tremendous force: burial niches are ranked and stacked to form great funerary walls incised deep into the landscape, and rising to culminate in the entrance marked by great sculptural forms and the mortuary and chapel buildings.

New Spanish Architecture

Rizzoli

Spain, a country that has become a hotbed for creativity and style, is now more than ever in the international spotlight. Since the end of Franco's reign in 1975, Spanish architects have succeeded in rebuilding the public and cultural realms in what Peter Buchanan, in his introduction, has described as "an extraordinary act of self-transformation."The New Spanish Architecture features both world-renowned figures, such as Rafael Moneo and Santiago Calatrava, and a fresh selection of up-and-coming stars, among them Enric Miralles and Alberto Campo Baeza. Anatxu Zabalbeascoa's comprehensive essay traces the history of architecture in Spain since the end of World War II and analyzes the new, innovative work featured here, placing it in the context of local trends and larger movements. The thirteen architects and firms whose work is documented in this book are presented individually in generously illustrated chapters.The New Spanish Architecture continues the successful series that began with The New French Architecture, The New Japanese Architecture, and, most recently, The New Finnish Architecture. Up-coming volumes will cover Germany, Austria, and Mexico.

A tour of the private domains of world-renowned architects.

The House of the Architect

Houses of the Century

Scriptum Editions

A superb selection of 25 houses designed and built between the early 1900s and the late 1980s by 25 architects who are ranked as the greatest of our time. Alvar Aalto, Luis Barragan, Antonio Gaudi, Steven Holl, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Mies van der Rohe, Glenn Murcutt, and Frank Lloyd Wright just to mention a few. In essence, Houses of the Century is an architectural journey through the 1900s, a detailed guide of the most influential residential structures of the era. 
From the early, highly ornamented style of Gaudi to Ando's simplified approach, no stone is left unturned in tracing the evolution of the contemporary dwelling to its purest form. Whether it is Rem Koolhaas deconstructing, or Frank Gehry recycling, or Barragan coloring, the domestic architecture of the 20th Century is distinctive and prolific, at the peak of its art form.
