- PublicationMaxxi Museo nacional de las artes siglo XXI en Roma. Italia(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2011-12-29) Zaha Hadid Architects, Arquitecto[EN] MAXXI is a recently constructed work by Zaha Hadid where its particular imaginary is highlighted and is linked to the contributions of the Soviet avant-garde, aesthetic aspirations and converging to a specifi c architectural program which is designed primarily for exhibitions.In it, the architect interprets the character of the place superbly by an implantation marked by its dynamic and genuine “tapes” whose result is embodied in a permeable public area that qualifi es the outer space.In the interior, a light rail artistic experience is created, reinterpreting the train tracks traces and skylights of saw-toothed warehouses.
- PublicationMimesis Museum en Paju Book City. Corea del Sur(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2011-12-29) Álvaro Siza Vieira, Arquitecto[EN] here once was a chinese emperor who liked cats a lot, and one day he called upon the most famous painter in the Empire and asked him to paint him a cat. The artist liked the idea and promised that he would work on it. A year passed and the Emperor remembered that the painter still had not given him the painting of the cat. He called him: What of the cat? It is nearly ready, answered the artist.
- PublicationMuseo Madinat al Zahra en Córdoba(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2011-12-29) Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos, S.L.P., Arquitectos[EN] There is architecture that owes itself to a metaphor: it agrees with a concept that if not explained literally, makes it easier to under-stand. This is what happens with the Museum and Institutional Head-quarters in Medina Azahara (1998-2008) by Fuensanta Nieto and Enrique Sobejano. Already in the memorandum of competition, the architects proposed the metaphor of the archaeological excavation: they are not inspired to construct a building but to discover it, with luck, under-ground. Like the palace-city ruin, their project wants to be a discov-ery: they are not trying to build it; they are on the way to encounter it, interpreting the traces of time on the site.
- PublicationMora River Aquarium en Mora, Alentejo. Portugal(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2011-12-29) Promontorio Architects, Arquitectos[EN] The River Aquarium is located in Mora, a small municipality in the Northern Alentejo region. Given the need to shift regional development from the dependence of an increasingly weaker agriculture economy into the environmental tourism and leisure market, the municipality launched a design-and-build competition for an aquarium that could somehow embody the paradigms of biodiversity of the Iberian river.
- PublicationMuseo de Arraiolos en Vimieiro. Arraiolos. Portugal(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2011-12-29) Fátima Fernandes y Michele Cannatà, Arquitectos[EN] The single house designed by Charles Pictet in Frontenex (Geneva, Switzerland) is a model example of a project whose value lies in the way environmental challenges are faced. Starting with special conditions, like the inclusion of an old greenhouse in the plan of the residence, have led to the design of a unique and renowned house, where formal construction is key to a genuine tectonic structure which blends into the historic setting. The use of concrete is no way unrelated to these purposes. This study analyses the house and its relevance in the architect’s professional career.
