Carme Pinos: An Architecture of Overlay

A comprehensive presentation of the architect's oeuvre, Carme Pinós: An Architecture of Overlay features twenty-one projects, built and unbuilt, in photographs, models, and Pinós's uniquely intricate drawings. Among the designs are the enormous JVC Cultural & Business Center and the Puerto de Hierro office building, both in Guadalajara, Mexico; La Serra High School in Lérida; a waterfront promenade in Havana; single-family and community housing; and numerous sports and recreational facilities throughout Spain. Contemplative yet cutting-edge considerations of the dualities inherent in architecture -- nature and culture, history and modernity, standardization and variety, intellect and emotion, reason and intuition, time and timelessness -- these works emphasize in equal degrees the formal and the functional, the natural and the human-made.
