Book Description
En las dos apretadas décadas de entreguerras, 1919-1939, motivados por la urgencia y la necesidad de alojar a muchos, los arquitectos de la modernidad desarrollaron y consolidaron un modelo conceptual sobre los rasgos, funciones y respuestas construidas de la vivienda; completo y resistente pues se mantuvo con pocas variaciones hasta mucho después y aún domina porciones significativas de la promoción residencial. Los arquitectos de la modernidad miraron, se preguntaron, copiaron, modificaron e inventaron hasta forjar un paradigma de domesticidad, envuelto en las formas y el lenguaje de una nueva arquitectura. Un esfuerzo ejemplar y formidable. Pero desde que comenzó ha pasado casi un siglo y han cambiado y están cambiando muchas cosas. Las gentes, la sociedad, el contexto, las convicciones y la cultura evolucionan y se alejan de lo que fueron cuándo comenzó la aventura de la vivienda moderna. Indagar el cómo y el porqué del proyecto vivienda de la modernidad, reexaminar sus logros y convicciones, cuestionar su continuidad... y someterlos al crisol contemporáneo... el futuro está empezando.

Book Description
MAD works in forward-looking environments developing futuristic architecture based on a contemporary interpretation of the eastern spirit of nature. All of MAD's projects - from residential complexes or offices to cultural centres - desire to protect a sense of community and orientation toward nature, offering people the freedom to develop their own experience. Founded in 2004 by Ma Yansong, the office first earned worldwide attention in 2006 by winning an international competition to design a residential tower near Toronto, expected to be completed in the summer of 2012. MAD has been commissioned by clients of all backgrounds, leading to an intriguing combination of diverse project designs. MAD's ongoing projects include two major cultural projects in Harbin: the China Wood Sculpture Museum and Harbin Culture Island, an opera house and cultural center that will retain the original wetlands as an urban park between the old and new city. MAD is led by Ma Yansong, Dang Qun and Yosuke Hayano. They have been awarded the Young Architecture Award from the New York Institute of Architects in 2006 and the 2011 RIBA international fellowship.

Book Description
The Valparaíso School, as it became known, acquired an international reputation for its radical stance and its commitment to dialogue between architects and other disciplines. Since 1970 the Valparaíso School has focused much of its research and design activity on the Open City (Ciudad Abierta) project, created by a group of architects, artists, poets, and engineers with a vision of a city with "no master plan, no imposed ordering devices, and no hierarchical networks of infrastructure." Originally set up as a laboratory-type environment, this alternative community has since become the place of residence and work for many people. Valparaíso School: Open City Group provides insight into this radical experiment in urban development through a series of essays and photographs.
