La creación de maquetas es una disciplina encaminada a confeccionar la representación en tres dimensiones y a escala reducida de una construcción o intervención arquitectónica. Así pues, las maquetas presentan un doble significado: por un lado, son una representación a escala de un proyecto, y por otro, un objeto dotado de significado expresivo por sí mismo. Se trata de una disciplina sumamente versátil, que ofrece infinitas posibilidades creativas y expresivas. Este libro explica de manera didáctica y rigurosa las principales técnicas involucradas en la creación de maquetas. Tras ofrecer una visión general sobre las características fundamentales y los diferentes tipos de maquetas, se dan a conocer los principales materiales y herramientas que se emplean para construirlas y, a continuación, se explican los procesos preparatorios y las técnicas. En el último capítulo, a manera de ejemplo, se muestra paso a paso la creación de distintas maquetas.

Author of the influential Relational Aesthetics examines the dynamics of ideology Leading theorist and art curator Nicolas Bourriaud tackles the excluded, the disposable and the nature of waste by looking to the future of art—the exform. He argues that the great theoretical battles to come will be fought in the realms of ideology, psychoanalysis and art. A “realist” theory and practice must begin by uncovering the mechanisms that create the distinctions between the productive and unproductive, product and waste, and the included and excluded. To do this we must go back to the towering theorist of ideology Louis Althusser and examine how ideology conditions political discourse in ways that normalize cultural, racial and economic practices of exclusion.
Eco House Plans contains more than 300 floor and elevations plans, as well as constructive details of 36 ecological architecture projects. The specific criteria for a project, location, setting, type, morphology, and orientation are generating protection to the main climatic factors: sun, wind, and heat. These concepts determine the potential of the site for passive bioclimatic building control, and thus optimally used renewable energy sources such as solar radiation, wind, water, or vegetation.

"Oscar Masotta (Buenos Aires, 1930- Barcelona, 1979) is all but forgotten now, except perhaps in the field of Lacanian studies. This is because in the 1970s, Masotta would challenge the master psychoanalyst on his own turf, creating his own post-Lacanian school of psychoanalysisin Barcelona. But in 1965, aged just 27, Masotta taught at the University of Buenos Aires, lectured at the Di Tella, and edited a book series on communication and media. A product of the newly open post-Perón era"--Page 91.
