365 p. ill. (some col.) ; 21 cm. Alongside building an architecture that is iconic, Spanish architect Campo Baeza also creates rational buildings that enter into a dialogue with the place and its surroundings in order to, as he suggests make men happy. This well designed survey of the architects works features a total of 23 works and projects, realised between 1980 and 2009 and accompanied by colour photographs, plans, elevations and models, along with introductory comments by the architect. Featured are such projects as: the Gaspar House; De Blas House, Caja General Bank Headquarters; the Benetton Nursery; Olnick Spanu House; and, Andalucias Museum of Memory. Included also in the second half of the publication is a sizeable essay by Campo Baeza himself, entitled The Built Idea/ On Architecture in which various ideas and themes are explored, such as the use of the colour white and the role of light in architecture, and, the foundations and future of architecture -- Content: Constructing the Architecture of Absence with Light Manuel Blanco 8 -- Alberto Campo Baeza Colette Jauze 10 -- Works and Projects: 12 – Town Hall 14 -- Public School 22 -- Turégano House 28 -- “Drago” Public School 38 -- Gaspar House 48 -- Centre BIT Offices 60 -- Telefónica Tower 72 -- De Blas House 78 -- Cathedral Square 88 -- Caja General Bank Headquarters 94 -- Asencio House 106 -- Junta de Andalucía Offices 114 -- Mercedes Benz Museum 122 -- Editorial SM Offices 130 -- Guerrero House 140 -- Montenmedio Museum 150 -- Benetton Nursery 158 -- Olnick Spanu House 168 -- Moliner House 176 -- Centro de Interpretacion del Paisaje 184 -- Rufo House 198 -- Between Cathedrals 204 -- Andalucia’s Museum of Memory 214 -- List of Works and Projects 227 -- 1980 -- Town Hall p. 14 -- 1985 -- Public School p. 22 -- 1988 -- Turégano House p. 28 -- 1992 -- “Drago” Public School p. 38 -- Gaspar House p. 48 -- 1998 -- Centre BIT Offices p. 60 – 2000 -- De Blas House p. 78 -- Cathedral Square p. 88 -- 2001 -- Caja General Bank Headquarters p. 94 -- Asencio House p. 106 -- 2002 -- Junta de Andalucía Offices p. 114 -- 2003 -- Editorial SM Offices p. 130 -- 2005 -- Guerrero House p. 140 – 2007 -- Benetton Nursery p. 158 -- 2008 -- Olnick Spanu House p. 168 -- Moliner House p. 176 -- 2009 -- Andalucia’s Museum of Memory p. 214 -- Rufo House p. 198 -- Between Cathedrals p. 204 -- 1978 -- Cathedral Square p. 88 -- 1999 -- Telefónica Tower p. 72 -- 2002 -- Mercedes Benz Museum p. 122 -- 2006 -- Montenmedio Museum p. 150 -- Interview with Alberto Campo Baeza 233 -- Essay: The Built Idea/ On Architecture Alberto Campo Baeza 264 -- The horizon-tal Plan 266 -- The Foundation of Architecture -- From the Cave to the Hut 276 -- On stereotomics and tectonics in architecture -- The Architect who Wanted to Capture the Cube 296 -- Dimensions in Architecture in Relation to the Dimensions of Man -- Architectura Sine Luce Nulla Architectura EST 302 -- On light in Architecture -- A Moment before the Last Explosion 318 -- The Future of Architecture -- The Rigth White 330 -- On the white color in Architecture -- Essestiality 334 -- “More with less”-- To think or not to think.
