Barcelona

Sinopsis del Libro

"Barcelona" presents a study-in text and photographic image-of one of the most architecturally fascinating and impressive cities in the world. From the Gaudí cathedral to Albert Viaplana and Helio Piñón's recent Centre de Cultura Contemporània, from the Palau de la Musica to the Dali Museum, what we find is a city whose magnificent strength lies in the coexistence of its amazingly diverse and historically disparate variety of structures. The city of Barcelona absorbs new influences and maintains traditions organically, avoiding a sense of fragmentation for a sense of exuberance and limitless possibility. "Barcelona" presents this diversity in beautiful color photographs and insightful and historically astute essays, exploring the place of Modernism in the city's architecture, its dialectic between past and present, the influence of the decorative arts, and the interplay between the spectacular and functional aspects of its architecture.

Living Off-Grid sets you free from depending on a company, either using solar panels, wind turbines, a micro water system, or a combination of these technologies. Other times, an Off-Grid system can work as an energy backup or be...

Manual de epilepsia

Muchas cosas han cambiado desde las primeras descripciones teñidas de misticismo, prejuicio y oscuridad conceptual, que se hicieron del enfermo epiléptico en los albores de la humanidad; pero ciertas características míticas permanecen incólumes en pleno siglo XXI para este grupo de pacientes. Se desarrollan aquí algunas de estas distorsiones, tanto las históricas y anecdóticas como las actuales, evidenciándose en encuestas que miden la percepción propia del enfermo y de la sociedad respecto de la enfermedad epiléptica. Dada la vastedad nosológica de la epileptología, se impuso el ...

Tres visitantes en París

The author describes and discusses the influence Le Corbusier in Uruguay through a series of trips, the first done by the Swiss-French architect in 1929, and the remaining ones from the three Uruguayan architects who joined the workshop of the notable architect: Carlos Gómez Gavazzo, in 1933, Justino Serralta, in 1948, and Carlos Clémot, in 1949. The study also includes aspects of Antonio Bonet Castellana's trip, who was there in 1937 and in Uruguay from 1945 to 1948, and additionally analyzes what Eladio Dieste learned from his "Le Courvoisier partners" Serralta and Clémot as well as the...
