Fernando Menis
"In his monolithic and sculptural building, Spanish architect Fernando Menis has discovered a formal idiom and an expressive power that is not only indebted to international modernism, but is also impressed by Tenerifian resources and building traditions. His projects insert themselves quite naturally into the volcanic topography of the surrounding landscape while at the same time setting highly conspicuous accents. Both this exhibition and its accompanying catalog demonstrate that both conceptually and in terms of design, Fernando Menis has confidently taken his own paths, not only in his large-scale architectural undertakings, but also in his intensive activities involving urban planning projects".--Introduction.

Backstage. Fernando Menis
''Backstage. Fernando Menis'' accompanies the traveling exhibition with the same title, which was first shown at the legendary Aedes Forum in Berlin, in December 2018. With a forty years acclaimed career, Fernando Menis is one of the most striking contemporary architects with a manner that sets him apart as an author, which Kristin Feireiss identified as ''Endemic Modernism'': ''(...) it's not only the remoteness of the Canary Islands - where he is based - with its volcanic environment between lava, nature and ocean, which formed his specific approach, it's the sensitive way he perceives and listens to nature and landscape''. This Spanish architect's designs stand out for the respectful inte...

Agenda
AGENDA occupies the territory between a monograph, diary, and a collection of essays, interviews, and conversations, produced by JDS Architects with a wide range of contributors and collaborators. Starting from the belief that an agenda is not simply an expression of individual intentions, but rather a vector for the production of new realities, AGENDA addresses the need for architecture to transform itself in an era of ecological and economic crisis. Change, the buzzword of the last U.S. presidential campaign, is indeed the order of the day, and AGENDA explores exactly what kind of change will be needed if architects are to assume a political and social agency in this new landscape. The book seeks to define not only the work of JDS Architects, but also the challenges and situations confronting young architectural practices emerging at a time of crisis. An ambitious attempt to describe the conditions within which architecture is produced today.
