Eduardo Prieto   Facts keep contradicting those who still hold, with the obstinacy of those who know they’re wrong, that ecology, sustainability, and ‘green thinking’ at large are fads condemned to intellectual extinction. In times of climate woes, this Zeitgeist exp

Eduardo Prieto   In his book Four Walls and a Roof, Reinier de Graaf —an OMA partner— described the current architecture scene in the conviction that ideals are always eventually dissolved by the corrosive action of forces bigger than architecture: markets and politi

Eduardo Prieto   This book starts and ends with full-page photos deliberately out of focus. The buildings seem to be moving and leaving a trail of matter in their wake, like Boccioni sculptures. But it’s hard to find architectures with such a degree of precision as D

Eduardo Prieto   “May you live in interesting times”: the curse that has fallen upon us resembles the one that befell Europeans in the 1930s. The 1937 Paris International Exposition was the last major cosmopolitan event held in Europe before the apocalypse, and desp

Eduardo Prieto   Rome, 35 ad. An epidemic strikes a city recently decked with marble monuments. A city, moreover, that has since time immemorial boasted the Cloaca Maxima, which Augustus had ordered cleaned, enlarged, tended to by a maintenance corps, and placed unde

Luis Fernández-Galiano   This environmental history deserves a plural name. The architect Eduardo Prieto has carved a 64-facet diamond to explore the ecology and climate dimension of building environment, and the result is a brilliant work that reflects his solid intellectua
