From their European beginnings almost thirty years ago to their return to Peru in 2006, the long career of Barclay & Crousse – distinguished with the Oscar Niemeyer Prize 2016 or the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize 2018 – is characterized by the critical analysis of the connections between landscape, climate, and architecture. The reading of the territory, the study of the social structures, the attention to the itinerary and the close relationship with the environment are the fundamental strategies in the sixteen works and projects included in number 255 of AV Monographs. Presented in four thematic sections (Built geographies, Voluntary Microcosms, Domestic Depth, and Patient Search), the selection is preceded by two clarifying essays by the Spanish architects and professors Ginés Garrido and Juan Carlos Sancho. To close, a text by Sandra Barclay (Lima, 1967) and Jean Pierre Crousse (Lima, 1963) offers an introspective view of their design process.
