{"product_id":"ap-164-giovanna-borasi-9783038600060","title":"AP 164: ﾁbalos and Herreros","description":"I aki  balos and Juan Herreros established the renowned architec­tural firm  balos \u0026amp; Herreros in Madrid in 1984. At the time, fol­lowing the end of the Franco regime, architects were valued more for their technical ability than for their contributions to theoretical research. In this context,  balos and Herreros's melding of design with a range of publications and curatorial projects presented a remarkable challenge to assumptions about the role of an architect. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 2012, the Canadian Centre for Architecture obtained the  balos \u0026amp; Herreros archive, which contains documents related to more than 160 projects. The material comprises sketches, slides, models, col­lages, and drawings. The archive presents a compelling opportunity to reconstruct  balos and Herreros's planning and design process. Each of the book's three contributors--two of whom worked with  balos and Herreros--approaches the archive with specific questions, and their essays explore topics including the architects' fascination with industrial architecture, their capacity to construct a hybrid materiality without recourse to building technology as language, and their innova­tive visions for landscape architecture. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile many have written about the work of  balos and Herreros, previous books have been based mainly on their built projects and on­going research. \u003ci\u003e balos \u0026amp; Herreros Selected by Office Kersten Geers David Van Severen, Juan Jos  Castell n and SO-IL \u003c\/i\u003eis the first book to draw on the firm's archive to offer a new take on this important architectural practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giovanna Borasi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3038600067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783038600060\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Park Publishing (WI)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.10h x 9.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Giovanna Borasi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075909841151,"sku":"9783038600060","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_025440f1-92ef-458d-8ce8-e2ee164174e2.jpg?v=1685462141","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ap-164-giovanna-borasi-9783038600060","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
