Luis Fernández-Galiano, professor of architectural design at ETSAM and the guiding spirit behind the triplet of A&V journals—whose pages have served as a precise X-ray of the finest architecture of each era—has structured his work, both as an educator and a critic, from the exceptional vantage point of an advanced observer. This dual role allows him to operate as an agile, sharp-witted columnist and the author of books such as the prescient El fuego y la memoria: sobre arquitectura y energía, Empeños sostenibles, Fracturas y ficciones, La edad del espectáculo, and Tiempo de incertidumbre, as well as the encyclopedic creator of several Atlas de arquitectura del siglo XXI and the instigator of the polyphonic La quimera moderna.
