描述
The realm of possibility is the common thread of this monograph that brings us closer to the creative universe of Sol89, one of the most suggestive Spanish architecture studios of today, chosen as curators of the recent XVI Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism.
Founded in Seville by María González and Juanjo López de la Cruz, their production focuses on themes such as the reuse of existing buildings, the intermediate spaces of the city and the public character of architecture.
Throughout its 312 pages, this publication covers everything from small interventions to large public complexes, with a special emphasis on the intermediate scale, all developed with texts, photographs, plans, and construction details .
With a prologue by Emilio Tuñón , it also includes a text by Ángel Martínez García-Posada and an extensive interview with Alberte Pérez
Sol89’s design philosophy draws from both its theoretical concerns about architectural and urban phenomena and a pragmatic desire to improve human habitat and its integration into each location.
They have worked on the concept of domesticity as a catalyst for human values that they then extrapolate to other typologies, playing with classic architectural elements such as patios, pergolas, thresholds or breaks in the volumes, and integrating them harmoniously through a personal contemporary language.
Sol89 is also distinguished by its ability to engage with pre-existing buildings and environments , especially in interventions in historical sites, where they establish subtle material and conceptual contrasts.
They achieve the humanization of large scales by fragmenting into smaller pieces joined by transition zones, in a true demonstration of “architectural surgery” that achieves a balance between the old and the contemporary.
Through his work, Sol89 demonstrates that architecture is not only a response to functional needs, but also a powerful tool for reinterpreting and revitalizing spaces , merging history, culture and modernity in a harmony that continually redefines the realm of possibility in architecture.
