Dossier Andrés Jaque. Office for Political Innovation
Author of widely published works like the Casa Sacerdotal(residenceforpriests)inPlasencia,the Never Never Land House in Ibiza, ESCARAVOX in Matadero Madrid, and the MoMA PS1 Pavilion in New York in 2015, Andrés Jaque (Madrid, 1971) founded his Office for Political Innovation in 2003, a platform for debate and thought – gathering architects, designers, journalists, sociolo- gists, and economists –, which focuses on the political dimension of architecture. With offices in Madrid and New York, Jaque combines his work at the studio, which has merited, among other distinctions, the Silver Lion of the Venice Biennale in 2014 and Frederick Kiesler Prize in 2016, with teaching at Columbia and Princeton.
San Pellegrino. Flagship Factory Competition
San Pellegrino, the Italian brand of mineral water, called an international competition in 2016 to transform its bottling plant, functioning since the year 1899. Located in San Pellegrino Terme, in the province of Bergamo, the complex is surrounded by the sinuous course of the Brembo River and the steep Alpine land- scape, source of the famous thermal water fountain, known and treasured already back in the Middle Ages. The winning proposal is the one submitted by the Danish studio BIG, led by Bjarke Ingels, which was chosen over those of the other three invited participants: the Dutch MVRDV (finalists), the Milanese Michele De Lucchi, and the Norwegian office Snøhetta.
Six Latticeworks
The six works featured in the following dos- sier show how ceramic elements offer high versatility in the design of latticeworks with a wide range of assembly systems and building methods. The examples selected here are two houses, one wrapped in a steel mesh and glazed brick and another with a facade built using floor slabs; a 13th-century church the remains of which are covered with brick and tile; an all-brick tower containing a photography studio; an apartment in direct contact with the outdoors thanks to latticeworks with geometric motifs; and a university building where the bricks undergo a double firing process to achieve a grayish hue.
Giancarlo Mazzanti. Fundación Santa Fe Extension
In 2012 the Hospital Fundación Santa Fe of Bogotá called a competition to extend its facilities. Giancarlo Mazzanti (Barranquilla, 1963) presented the winning proposal, and the construction of the first phase began that same year: a building of 40,100 square meters distributed in twelve floors and three underground levels, connected to the old hospital and wrapped in a distinctive suspended brick facade. The extension, inaugurated in 2016, includes a 2,000-squaremeter plaza over the parking area, a restaurant, and an auditorium for 250 spectators. The building opens up to the city generating public spaces and linking the hospital with one of the main thoroughfares in the city.
‘Imagine Moscow’. Russian Revolution
A century has passed, but the influence of the Russian Revolution can still be seen in the work of artists, designers, and architects around the world. To mark its centenary, the exhibition Imagine Moscow: Architecture, Propaganda, Revolution gathers plans, models, drawings, and propaganda material – much of it rarely displayed before – from that transformation period in the former capital of the USSR, the international center of socialism. Through six never realized projects the show explores the changes in daily life and in society, offering an idealistic and provocative vision of Moscow as imagined by a heroic generation of architects in the 1920s and 1930s.
Lewis Baltz. Faceless Architecture
The first retrospective devoted to Lewis Baltz after his death in 2014 offers a new overall vision of his career: from his first series in black and white of the 1960s and 1970s to his color photographs and the exploration of new languages during the last years. Born in Newport Beach (California) in 1945, Baltz was among the photographers included in ‘New Topographics,’ the exhibition held in 1975 in New York and which also featured the work of Robert Adams, Bernd and Hilla Becher, and Stephen Shore, among others. This exhibition gave way to a new concept of landscape, viewed by artists as an urbanized, capitalized, and populated space, where the buildings create a mute and faceless architecture.
