308 p. ill. ; (some color), plans (some color) ; 24 cm The Spanish architect Rafael Moneo (b. 1937) has won numerous awards (including the prestigious Pritzker Architecture Prize), yet this publication is the first to offer a critical study of his career as a whole not only his many built works and projects but also his contributions to teaching and his writings. The book begins with a comprehensive biography, covering Moneo's education, teaching appointments, and encounters with historians and architects in Europe and the United States, such as Peter Eisenman, Jorn Utzon, and Bruno Zevi. Also included is a discussion of some of the buildings that he has designed, notably the Prado Museum extension and Atocha Station in Madrid -- Content: Introduction 7 -- 1 Biography 8 -- 1.1 Tudela 13 -- 1.2 Madrid and the University Years 17 -- 1.3 Apprenticeship with de Oíza 25 -- 1.4 The Utzon Experience 31 -- 1.5 The Rome Years 37 -- 1.6 Practice and Teaching I: Work of the 1960s and 1970s 43 -- 1.7 Practice and Teaching II: The Chair at Barcelona 53 -- 1.8 The First US Connections and Work of the Late 1970s 61 -- 1.9 Madrid: Teaching and Practice in the Early 1980s 65 -- 1.10 Harvard and the American Experience 75 -- 1.11 A Reflective Practice: Work of the Early Twenty-First Century -- 2 Seven Buildings -- 2.1 Bankinter, Madrid 111 -- 2.2 Logroño Town Hall 119 -- 2.3 National Museum of Roman Art, Mérida 127 -- 2.4 Pilar and Joan Miro Foundation, Palma de Mallorca 139 -- 2.5 Kursaal Auditorium and Congress Centre, San Sebastian 147 -- 2.6 Murcia Town Hall Extension 155 -- 2.7 The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, Los Angeles 163 -- 3 Thinking -- 3.1 Architectural Philosophy 173 -- 3.2 Desing Approach 178 -- 3.3 The Canon 191 -- 3.4 Composition 201 -- 3.5 Form 215 -- 3.6 The Confrontation with Reality I: Construction and Materiality 233 -- 3.7 The Confrontation with Reality II: Site, Landscape and City 243 -- 4 Conclusion 259 -- 5 Appendices -- 5.1 The Life of Buildings: The Extensions to the Mosque of Córdoba 267 -- 5.2 Complete Chronological List of Buildings and Projects 285 -- Bibliography 289 -- Acknowledgements 299 -- Index 300 -- Francisco González de Canales and Nicholas Ray.
