Going Down to Morocco (Bajarse al moro), is one of the most emblematic and best known theatrical work of recent times in Spain. It both contributed to and documented La Movida, a drug-fuelled youth movement that placed Madrid firmly on the global cultural map in the early 1980s. Alonso de Santos' play, a commercial and critical success when first staged in 1985, was made into a film starring Antonio Banderas in 1989. Chusa, a free-spirited and spontaneously generous young drug smuggler introduces Elena, a middle-class runaway, to the apartment she shares with her cousin Pepito and her boyfriend Alberto, a rookie policeman. The result is chaos in their previously disorderly but happy life. Th...
Construction is the means by which designing architects and engineers transform a design idea into built reality. It is from this perspective that the subject of 'building construction design' is dealt with by the architect José Luis Moro in three comprehensive volumes. Each is dedicated to the methodological, physical and functional fundamentals, the conception of a constructional solution, and finally its implementation in the constructional detail. Not only do the three volumes provide extensive content; they also ensure the greatest possible clarity in the text and graphics, in order to make it easier for learners to access the material. Importantly, they focus not only on conveying tec...
Die Konstruktion im Dienst der Architektur – diesem Thema widmet sich das mehrbändige Werk des Architekten José Luis Moro. Der 2. Band behandelt wesentliche Fragen der geometrischen Gestaltung und des Zusammenfügens von Bauteilen sowie die dafür zu lösenden Detailfragen der Stoß- und Fugenausbildung. Auch Varianten von Tragwerken und etablierter Bauweisen werden dargestellt und hinsichtlich ihrer strukturellen Logik erläutert. Den letzten Abschnitt bilden zahlreiche, detailliert dokumentierte Konstruktionsbeispiele zu den gewählten Prinzipvarianten.

How do we value historic urban landscape in order to intervene within it as designers? This is the central question posed in this volume, and is tackled by its 16 essays which investigate different facets of value as bases of building and design practices on a range of spatial scales and brought about by a variety of historical circumstances. While the modernist metanarrative of universalism propagated functionalism and, through it, biological and psychological motives of design activity, contemporary building practices are based on more complex and diverse patterns of values that range from cultural to market-driven. Researched, reconstructed and critically assessed, the different case stud...
Die Konstruktion im Dienst der Architektur – diesem Thema widmet sich das mehrbändige Werk des Architekten José Luis Moro. Band 1 behandelt nach der grundlegenden Betrachtung planungstheoretischer Fragen die wichtigsten materialtechnischen Grundlagen. In diesem knappen, aber umfassenden Praxis-Leitfaden wird die ganze Palette aktuell verfügbarer industrieller Bauprodukte vorgestellt und die Anforderungen und Funktionen untersucht, die aus statischer, bauphysikalischer und brandschutztechnischer Sicht an Baukonstruktionen gestellt werden.
La construccin es el medio del arquitecto y el ingeniero proyectista para transformar una idea de proyecto en realidad construida. Es esta perspectiva desde la que el arquitecto Jos Luis Moro trata el tema de la construccin de edificios en cuatro extensos volmenes. Cada uno de ellos se dedica a los fundamentos metdicos, fsicos y funcionales, a la concepcin de una solucin constructiva bsica y, por ltimo, a su aplicacin en el detalle constructivo. No slo se transmiten los contenidos de forma exhaustiva, sino que al mismo tiempo se mantiene la mayor claridad posible, as como la mayor legibilidad textual y grfica, para facilitar a profesionales, alumnos y estudiosos el acceso a la materia. Un ob...
