Juan Navarro Baldeweg

Description

Published on the occasion of the exhibition ‘One Zodiac. Juan Navarro Baldeweg’ at the Museo ICO in Madrid, which was designed and curated by the Spanish architect himself, this monograph follows its conceptual structure as a ring of constellations constituted by the ties established between the various pieces presented. It comprises sketches, plans, models, collages and photographs, and is accompanied by a number of his own artistic pieces. In this way, the architect seeks to express the means and determination behind a career that spans more than 40 years. Besides the works themselves, the volume includes an in-depth essay by Simón Marchán Fiz.
