Espacios públicos polivalentes para el mejoramiento urbano
Por su carácter masivo y ciertas morfologías indefinidas o sin clara personalidad, nuestras ciudades de hoy seconvierten, en algunos casos, en magmas urbanos cuyas semejanzas o en sus diversidades necesitan ser estudiadas para ser apreciadas o, en su defecto, mejoradas.Dentro de la diversidad de poblamientos que van desde la ciudad antigua (a menudo convertida en Centro Histórico) a las ciudades perdidas, pasando por los conjuntos habitacionales y los fraccionamientos residenciales, existe un elemento susceptible de cohesionar la ciudad. Nos referimos al espacio público, también diverso según el tipo de poblamiento de que se trate, pues en urbes como México, vemos ciudades dentro de la ciudad.Esta división social del espacio urbano, traducida en ciudades dentro de la ciudad, plantea enormes desafíos para el futuro, sobre todo, para las grandes aglomeraciones, ya sea en conjunto o en sus especificidades territoriales.Con esta obra se busca abrir las vías de análisis a disciplinas diversas que converjan en el tema del espacio público, como escenario o como protagonista del futuro de la ciudad.

Street Entrepreneurs
Addressing the current dearth of available literature on this topic, the editors use a range of international case studies to explore street vending and informal economies which continue to be, especially in developing countries, a vital economic driver. This volume collects essays from authors around the world about the markets and vendors they know best, including studies of USA, China, Mexico, Turkey. The contributors speak of the struggles that vendors have faced to legitimize their activity, the role that they play in helping societies adapt to and survive catastrophes as well as the practical roles that they play in both the local and global social and economic system. As well as highlighting the importance of street markets as a phenomenon of interest in itself to a growing body of scholarship, this study demonstrates how an analysis of street vending can provide insights not only into economic anthropology, but also urban studies, post modernism, spatial geography, political sociology and globalization theory.

The House of the Infinite
Spanish architect Alberto Campo Baeza has constructed a radical residential property positioned at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. referencing the endless sea that stretches out in front of the dwelling, the project is called?house of the infinite?? a design comprised of a podium crowned with an upper horizontal plane. oriented to face the horizon, the home is envisioned as a jetty built from roman Travertine stone that elegantly complements the sandy beach. VT House, also known as "house of the infinite", was conceived by Campo Baeza first and foremost as a piece of landscape architecture, with its architectural elements sunken underneath.00"We have erected a house as if it were a jetty facing out to sea," said the architect. "On this resoundingly horizontal plane, bare and denuded, we face out to the distant horizon."
Gringolandia
A telling look at today’s “reverse” migration of white, middle-class expats from north to south, through the lens of one South American city Even as the “migration crisis” from the Global South to the Global North rages on, another, lower-key and yet important migration has been gathering pace in recent years—that of mostly white, middle-class people moving in the opposite direction. Gringolandia is that rare book to consider this phenomenon in all its complexity. Matthew Hayes focuses on North Americans relocating to Cuenca, Ecuador, the country’s third-largest city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Many began relocating there after the 2008 economic crisis. Most are self-prof...

Alberto Campo Baeza
In his introductory essay to this survey of Alberto Campo Baeza's projects and finished buildings, Antonio Pizza begins by listing the influences on the Spanish architect's career since 1971, the year in which he graduated from the Escuela de Arquitectura de Madrid. In particular, Pizza rightly draws attention to the importance of what Campo Baeza learned from Alejandro de la Sota, one of the most gifted of Spain's postwar architects.
