Arquitectura en blanco: Viviendas unifamiliares | España y Portugal -9788417753542

描述

This first volume of Architecture in White, spanning 248 pages, explores 14 single-family homes located in Spain and Portugal. These works are notable for the predominance of the color white, an essential and deeply rooted chromatic element in contemporary architecture of Southern Europe.

The book provides a detailed analysis of each house , through a wide selection of photographs, plans, and construction details. This meticulous approach allows readers a comprehensive understanding of each project, revealing not only the elegance of the design but also the technical challenges and solutions involved in implementing white in architecture.

This initial selection has sought a balance, both geographically and in the representation of architects. The book reflects a diversity between Spain and Portugal, and balances the presence of emerging architects with more established figures such as Alberto Campo Baeza, Aires Mateus, Eduardo Souto de Moura, and Carlos Ferrater , providing a range of unique voices and perspectives on white architecture.

In addition, the book is enriched by the texts of César Jiménez, a communicator specializing in this topic, and Paolo De Marco, who offers a study on the use of white in contemporary architecture, detailing a variety of materials and techniques used to achieve white effects and highlighting their advantages in terms of sustainability.

More than just a collection of images of single-family homes, this book is an essential resource for architecture professionals and students. Through a careful combination of high-quality images, construction analysis, and theoretical contributions, it provides a valuable and comprehensive overview of both this approach to white architecture specifically and single-family housing in general.
