Josep Lluís Mateo
This book is a faithful reflection on the spirit and working modes infusing Josep Lluís Mateo's lively architectural practice. Unquestionably one of Spain's most renowned architects, Mateo's work has had enormous influence on the international architecture scene. His projects in Paris, The Hague and Amsterdam, as well as newer designs in Haarlem, Basel and Castelo Banco, are all analyzed in depth in this volume. Josep Lluís Mateo: Works, Projects, Writings includes a photographic essay on the International Convention Centre in Barcelona--one of Mateo's most authoritative projects of recent years. In addition there is an extensive study by José Luis Pardo and an interview by Philip Ursprung. Lluís Mateo has a studio in Barcelona and teaches at the ETH in Zrich, where he is Professor of Architecture and Design.

Mateo Atlas
This bold and impeccably designed book considers renowned architect Josep Lluis Mateo's most recent works and projects in Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain. For Mateo, "a project always sets out to pose an idea", and this book surveys in detail, with photos and contributions by several authorities as well as the architect himself, how Mateo's ideas make themselves manifest. The multiplicity and complexity of Mateo's refined architectural sensibility is nowhere more conveyed than in this book.

On Building
Josep Lluís Mateo (born 1949) is one of Spain's--and Europe's--most prolific and visible architects, as energetic as a teacher and lecturer as he is an architect. Mateo has designed corporate headquarters, housing units, office blocks and hotels throughout Western Europe, and has also renovated urban centers in Gerona (Spain) and Castelo Branco (portugal). this volume looks back at nearly 30 years of Mateo's built structures, as portrayed by the architectural photographer Adrià Goula. As well as buildings from the 80s and 90s, it also looks at his most important projects of the past few years, from the Banc Sabadell Headquarters renovation (2004) and the Factory office building in Boulogne-Billancourt, France (2010) to the PGGM Headquarters in Zeist, Holland (2011) and the Catalonian Film Theater in Barcelona (2011). Interspersed among Goula's photographs are Mateo's observations and musings on architecture.
After Crisis
Architectural Papers series is edited by the Josep Lluís Mateo Chair at the ETH Zurich since 2005. Covering the wide range of topics related to teaching and architectural culture in general, it is aimed at expanding the narrow boundaries of the discipline. Its fifth issue concentrates around the new conditions for architectural practice and around the new epistemologies that may inform it in the next future. That is, in the period after the financial bubble has collapsed and living and working conditions have significantly changed. Essays, studies and interviews, along with a selection of indicative projects, tackle the actual issues of growth and shrinking, economy and ideology, craftsmans...
Middle East
Part of the Architectural Papers series, The Middle East explores the architecture of a nearly paradoxical region. Both the cradle of culture, where much remains of thousands of years of human society, the Middle East is also an area of great flux in contemporary history. This volume explores this dichotomy in three sections. The first, "Beyond the View," investigates notions of the Middle Eastern architecture through a comparative study of different parts of the Arab world. "Case Studies" focuses on three exceptionally different cities--Beirut, Amman, and Doha--through an investigation of recent and future building projects. The final chapter, "Limits" looks at the architectural practices of countries that constitute the geographic, cultural, and political limits of the region: Israel, Turkey, and Iran.
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.
Health and Ritual in Morocco
In Health and Ritual in Morocco, J. L. Mateo Dieste analyzes the many notions of the body in contemporary Morocco and shows how a rich universe of healing systems and rituals conforms to social and historical power relationships.
