The exchange of ideas and concepts is a major part of any large modern building project. Architects, investors, general contractors and sub-contractors all use different tools to form both mental and modeled images of what the end result will look like. When some parties rely on renders or fly-throughs and others use 2D drawings, it can lead to communication difficulties. Reynaers discovered that by bringing together collaborators from different disciplines in its Avalon, the fog of misunderstandings evaporates and difficult decisions can be made on the spot.

This is an original, miscellaneous, rich, and distinct book that offers the reader an uncommon journey through an unconventional home, designed and built by Javier Carvajal—one of the great architects of the second half of the 20th century—in the mid-1960s in Somosaguas. The measure of the Casa Carvajal's uniqueness is evidenced by the fact that Carlos Saura used it as the setting for his film La madriguera—a telling title regarding the role assigned to the architecture—in which the house plays a part, silent yet omnipresent, with the force of another character in the drama.
