Více o knize

José Luis Mateo has established himself as an internationally renowned architect after over two decades of dedicated work. Initially active in Catalonia during the 1980s, where he served as Director of the magazine Quaderns, his reputation has grown significantly in the past 15 years as he has lectured at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich and won prestigious competitions in cities like Paris, The Hague, Barcelona, Haarlem, Chemnitz, and Basle. This monograph serves as the most comprehensive and current documentation of his work, featuring 23 of his key projects. These range from urban development in Ullastret and his design for the Paris zoo to his latest buildings in Chemnitz and Basle, illustrating the focus of his interests and the context in which he operates. An insightful addition to understanding his work is the interview conducted by Philip Ursprung, which provides valuable perspectives on Mateo's architectural philosophy and approach.
