Eduardo Mangada. Surgido tras el polémico soterramiento de la M-30, el proyecto Madrid Río ha transformado un enclave antes marginado en un espacio atractivo y habitado por los ciudadanos.
The project stems from the idea that the best neighborhood needn’t be made up of unique pieces, but rather that specific elements such as systematicity, homogeneity and expressive moderation are essential in residential buildings. In this way, the bl
El mejor barrio no está formado por edificios singulares; en éste se ha optado por cierta homogeneidad en las fachadas (hormigón por fuera, paneles ligeros por dentro) y por romper la manzana cerrada con un giro que da vida al patio, enriqueciéndolo
In the Ciudad Lineal area, the owners of a corner lot occupied by a large house of the 1920s decided to raise a new building on the property. After determining the part of the unbuilt land that was to continue to serve the old house, designs were mad
Serranillos del Valle belongs to the Sagra region, which is shared between Madrid and Toledo. Its invasion by weekend residences has not altered the rural character of the place, whose urban core still preserves splendid farmhouses. The old Town Hall
This is a personal exploration of gardens that the author is drawn to, and her aim is to grasp the meaning of these somehow ‘unreal’ places without which “architecture feels incomplete.” She follows no clear order, preferring an erratic round of visi
The close dialogue with the landscape gives the works of Barclay & Crousse a particular and profound sense of belonging to the place where they rest.
The use of algorithms and big data, triggered by an increase in the potential of computers and the hyperconnectivity of terminals, has spread to the sciences traditionally seen as ‘soft,’ including those related to the city. In supply infrastructures
Burying the most urban stretch of Madrid’s A5 motorway – 3.5 kilometers from the exit of the Avenida de Portugal tunnel to the intersection with Avenida de Los Poblados – is an old demand of locals. Even back in 2007, at the time of the undergroundin
One way to deal with the crisis has been through a change of scale. This, not necessarily through a shift to the world of the small. In fact it has sometimes been in the world of the large, even very large, that an alternative field has been found. A

Con Mélnikov en París, 1925, Ginés Garrido cierra, de momento, un ciclo exquisito sobre la arquitectura de Konstantín Mélnikov que se inició en 2001 con una exposición celebrada en la sala La Arquería de Nuevos Ministerios de Madrid, de la que fue co
Siempre al servicio del socialismo, la pintura figurativa de Deineka trató la figura humana como un motivo propagandístico pero a la vez liberador, según recoge una singular exposición en la Fundación Juan March de Madrid.
Ródchenko viaja a París en 1925 junto a otros artistas soviéticos para trabajar en el diseño y montaje de la Exposición Internacional de Artes Decorativas e Industrias Modernas. Tiene 34 años y una carrera reconocida como artista vinculado a las vang
La vida de Mélnikov refleja los peligros de que se cumplan las utopías. Titulado en 1917, año de la Revolución de los soviets, el talento de este moscovita hijo de mujiks y formado en el neoclasicismo pronto le situó entre los elegidos para inventar
Ródchenko y Popova se conocieron probablemente en marzo de 1916 en Moscú, donde ambos participaron en la exposición ‘El Almacén’ con sus primeros trabajos pictóricos realizados con el lenguaje cubista que muy pronto había viajado a Rusia desde París.
Albacete ha sido desde su origen un cruce de caminos en la llanura, Al-Basit, anónimo y con poco carácter. Formaba parte de este conjunto de ciudades medianas de las mesetas a las que Madrid arrebataba la posibilidad de llegar a ser algo más que un l
Con este libro, que recoge la producción teórico-crítica del arquitecto ruso Moisei Gínzburg entre 1923 y 1930, la colección Biblioteca de Arquitectura —promovida por El Croquis Editorial— alcanza su duodécima entrega y añade un nuevo eslabón a una c
The portrait of the modern architect reflects a sensitivity which does not admit the failure of the avant-garde project, that postmodern skepticism about architecture as a means to transform society. The architect, in his modesty, also contributes to
