Occasions
Josep Llus Mateo is one of Spain's most influential architects in architecture today. This book brings together his recent projects, his influences, his references together with material from interviews and a wealth of images. It is, in a nutshell, his work philosophy. Conversations, reflections and projects completed in the last five years are presented as realities and actions, interpreted through this concept, which can be contemplated as infinity of individual forms of contacting with reality and acting upon it. For Josep Llus Mateo, the crux of this work is to analyze, from the perspective of his unique work, the state of issues and situations today in architecture and to interact accordingly with exterior space.
ICONOCLASTIA
In the past, buildings and other constructions representing singular moments for the community were called monuments. Their origin was expression of power, celebration of ritual or collective affirmation. In the contemporary world, a project that aspires to be exceptionally expressive is commonly called an icon. The publication begins with a series of general texts on themes that vary but all share a common critical look at the role of the iconic on the recent architecture scene. Some of the texts were produced at a seminal symposium organized by the Chair of Professor Josep Lluis Mateo.
Global Housing Projects
The world is merging into one global system of goods, people and information. This book explores the social, cultural, and economic phenomena of globalization through housing. The Chair of Architecture and Design at the ETH in Zurich examines the last 25 years of housing development. This book is a historical criticism with the built projects as protagonists. Housing typologies have been chosen as contemporary architectural prototypes. The selection of housing projects reflects the most innovative and influential built housing projects to propose new important guidelines in housing.
Josep Lluis Mateo
Following more than two decades of intensive activity, Josep Lluis Mateo is now an architect of international repute. During the 1980s he was primarily active in Catalonya, where he was Director of the magazine Quaderns, but over the last 15 years Mateo's work as both architect and lecturer at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich has received due recognition after he won several formidable competitions in Paris. The Hague, Barcelona, Haarlem, Chemnitz and Basle. This monograph is the most comprehensive and up-to-date documentation of his work and encompasses 27 of his most important projects - from urban development in Ullastret and his project for the Paris zoo, to the most recent buildings in Chemnitz and Basle, clearly showing the focus of his interests and the framework within, which Mateo works. An important contribution to the interpretation of his work is undoubtedly the interview by Philip Ursprung.
