José Antonio Coderch was not a prolific writer; in his restraint, he wrote only when he deemed it strictly necessary.
This book compiles one of his most renowned texts, "We Don't Need Geniuses Now"—a work that remains relevant today, having been read and reread by generations—alongside the legendary interview he gave to Enric Soria in the 1970s. Reading these texts provides a deeper understanding of the complex figure of this great master of modern Spanish architecture.
In her series Accessibility from North to South: All the Voices of Brazil, Mariana Bunn (Architecture and Accessibility) will be in conversation with Amanda Ribeiro this coming Sunday, April 16.
Almost all the texts in this anthology revolve around a single theme: drawing. Although distinguished by subtle variations in their conception and approach, the seventeen texts in this volume can be understood as a single, continuous monologue with almost compulsive returns to the same idea. Flores & Prats believe in the capacity of hand drawing to generate multiple, complex layers of knowledge about a space or place, thereby guiding the successive steps of the design process.
Their obsession with drawing is a form of optimistic resistance; they believe that if mobilized with intensity, rigor, and passion, the tools of architectural representation can still help us decipher the world around us.

The design of a facade defines its architectural identity. Besides being a barrier against diverse weather conditions, providing acoustic comfort, and regulating light penetration, the external skin of a building determines its character and perception. At first glance, a facade can make the building stand out or blend with its urban environment, or even convey different levels of brightness, translucency, and smoothness. Simultaneously, the structure and color of interior walls and ceilings can leave a lasting impression when entering a room.
With a focus on deepening inequality across the world, this richly illustrated monograph of social practice in architecture shows how to catalyze productive change in the world's border regions.
How can design be used to challenge the status quo, to interrupt the jargon, to disrupt and redirect ecological and socio-economic flows? LA+ Journal’s fourth international design ideas competition invited designers to take an established place and design something to productively interrupt both its cultural and spatial context. What does this mean? It means injecting something different into a given context to effect new meanings and new functions. It means questioning what design does, who it’s designed for, what it looks like, and what it means.
Architects and builders can create environments and spaces that improve people's quality of life, in alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 11. Furthermore, technology can be a powerful ally, offering innovative resources such as 3D modeling, BIM, virtual and augmented reality, sensing, and the Internet of Things. Do not miss the opportunity to learn more about this topic at our ZIGURAT Talks event on the architecture of the future!
