Herzog & de Meuron   South Korea   Seoripul Open Art Storage will serve as the collective archive space for the Seoul Museum of Art, the Seoul Museum of Craft Art, and the Seoul Museum of History. Beyond its role as a storage facility, it aspires to be a dynamic civic space for Seoul

estudioHerreros   Spain   A lover of design objects of all kinds needs a storage space in which to live with a collection that over the years has overflowed the storage capacity of a family home. The diversity of sizes, themes and materials is considerable and the need for ar

estudioHerreros   Spain   An old warehouse occupies the heart of a block in the urban expansion of Bilbao. It is accessed through a long and narrow tunnel that crosses the ground level of the residential junctions. Its interior contains a simple program that addresses the bas

Boamistura   Brazil   Formally, we understand a favela as an agglomeration of low-quality housing, which follows a model of 'self-construction' and a process of spontaneous creation, and which is arranged as a network that grows horizontally and vertically according to ne

Bruce Goff   United States   The Japanese pavilion of the Los Angeles Museum of Art is an excellent example of an enigma for the European architect: the success and popularity of the American architect Bruce Goff. The latter, who died recently, carried out the basic design of th

Ángela García de Paredes   This book on Navarro Baldeweg is more than a monograph. Nineteen chapters describe both his architectural career and his work as a painter and sculptor, and recurring themes (intersections and confluences, balances and tensions...) are explained thro

Luis Fernández-Galiano   These two histories of history give narratives an influence on architecture, so we could perhaps call them operative historiographies. The book by Crison and Williams, which calls for a reencounter between architectural history and art history, claim

“How our group is dwindling, our first fighting and heroic group, how few of us are left.” As the Chilean poet Vicente Huidobro reported in a letter written to his mother, this was a lament Picasso uttered at María Blanchard’s funeral in 1932. The tw

When she was almost a septuagenarian, Suzanne Valadon portrayed herself with her breasts exposed, a pearl necklace, and a defiant gaze. In this way – free of prejudices, flirty and provocative – she summed up her life and work. Accustomed to her pres

Roy Nachum (1979, Jerusalem) works across disciplines and is known especially for paintings that go from surrealism to hyperrealism. Nachum rose to fame with the cover design for Rihanna’s Anti album of 2016, a work that included a fragment in Braill

Luis Fernández-Galiano   New readings inject sap into revered trunks. The British Academy and the Getty Research Institute have revisited two classics of art history, The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy, no doubt the masterwork of Jacob Burckhardt (1818-1897), and T

Mark Crinson   Richard J. Williams   The breach between the studies of art and architecture is discussed with the help of images by the professor and photographer Joaquín Bérchez.

Luis Fernández-Galiano   It is trite to quote Talleyrand (“Ceux qui n’ont pas connu l’Ancien Régime ne pourront jamais savoir ce qu’était la douceur de vivre”) to summon up the Rococo sweetness of aristocratic life before the Revolution, and many of my generation learned to

The Guardian   Alex Needham   Bulgarian creator of large-scale public artworks worked in collaboration with wife Jeanne-Claude. Christo studied in Sofia and then defected to the west in 1957, stowing away on a train from Prague to Vienna...

Ángela Juarranz   Some monographs stand out because they are well documented, others because they place their subjects in wider historical contexts. This one explores the intertwining of art, science, and military power during the Cold War through the interdisciplina

Eduardo Prieto   Every avant-garde recognizes itself in modernity, but not all modernity recognizes itself in avant-gardes: thus starts an ‘aesthetic essay’ that explains the complex, often contradictory tenets that gave rise to artistic modernity. ‘Aesthetic essay’

Luis Fernández-Galiano   The hermetism of the latest art either fascinates or irritates. The writer Enrique Vila-Matas, who participated in Documenta 13 by sitting down to write in a Chinese restaurant, was euphoric at what he saw and experienced in Kassel, and he tells abou

Javier San Martín   Representation of the domestic: in a field so close it is not easy to reach the expressive level of artists like Bonnard or Vuillard, those 19th century painters who dealt with the theme of domestic bliss in their quiet interiors, or that of Matisse
