Japan Diaries
Aurora Fernández Per and Javier Mozas, founders of the a+t research group, relate their stories of three trips to Japan: spring 1995, autumn 2004, and summer 2018. The common thread is architecture, which drives them to travel through a country which has become highly influential in terms of international design. Using texts, photographs, and drawings they interpret buildings and landscapes, as well as narrate the everyday scenes they have witnessed along the way.--Provided by publisher.
The Office on the Grass
This publication is a selection of content which has been published previously in the a+t magazine WORKFORCE series. "When they reached the top of the stairs, the view was spectacular. The roof overlooked most of the campus, the surrounding city of San Vincenzo and the bay beyond." This paragraph from the novel The Circle (Dave Eggers) describes the pardigm of the office in the digital era, which is ubiquitous, with no defined space or time. Everything can be done at any time in any place. In THE OFFICE ON THE GRASS, Caruso St John Architects and Javier Mozas (a+t research group) define the character of the contemporary office through paradigm-changing buildings and their sources of inspiration. The volume, edited by Aurora Fernández Per (a+t research group), is complemented with an illustrated glossary containing significant projects and a timeline of the most important innovations in the workplace environment.--
Desmontando El Mito de la Sandía Cúbica
What is density? This question is the starting point of an investigation into the nature of density in the contemporary urban environment. In analysing projects located throughout Europe, the research proposes that density is not about volumetric exploitation, but based on the interaction between three elements: agents, fluxes, and territory. This book documents the findings, detailing individual buildings, cataloguing specific urban forms, and drawing conclusions as to performance and quality, also in an ecological sense. It also offers a case study concerning the former site of the Renault factory in Paris, examining how an experimental opportunity can lead to a vibrant piece of city.
