Rogelio Salmona

Sinopsis del Libro

Colombian architect Rogelio Salmona has translated pragmatic and poetic concepts and intentions into physical form. These result from the architect's deep communion with and understanding of the materials and processes, as well as of the historic-cultural context in which his architectural intervention takes place. Salmona's oeuvre, including such notable examples as the Torres del Parque (1967) in Bogota, the Presidential House for Illustrious Guests (1981) in Cartagena, the Quimbaya Museum (1983) in Armenia and the National Archive of the Nation (1992) in Bogota, is without doubt one of the most prolific and significant of those produced on this continent during the second half of this century. This book, a tribute to, rather than an exhaustive study of the architect's work, consists of a personal and selective interpretation at the iconographic and textual level, in particular of the work which post-dated the Torres del Parque.

Los tiempos del espacio

¿Por qué se integra a los títulos de esta colección el libro de Alberto Sato? ¿Cuál es el criterio que nos permite justificar su presencia aquí? Pues bien, este libro presenta un desarrollo teórico-histórico atrapante. Podríamos decir que Sato nos devela la saga donde el espacio es el protagonista y la arquitectura acepta resignadamente su destino, ya que el espíritu del tiempo así lo requería. Un libro polémico que desafía las verdades instaladas que la historiografía nos ha entregado. Su lenguaje sugerente, sin duda, va a prendar a quienes se dispongan a disfrutar de su...
