AV PROYECTOS 50 LORCA

Description

Beginning with a close look at the strategy for the rebuilding of Lorca after a devastating earthquake in 2011, this installment goes on to highlight this year’s Serpentine Pavilion by Herzog & de Meuron and Ai Weiwei, OMA’s concept for Garage Gorky Park, Moscow, and Dominique Perrault’s design for the New Longchamp Racecourse, plus competitions for the Yenikapi Transfer Point, Istanbul, and the Bünder Kunstmuseum, Chur. It also includes an extensive feature on Izaskun Chinchilla’s rehabilitation of Castillo de Garcimuñoz in Cuenca and the photography of Bas Princen, which contrasts the duality between natural and artificial, “understanding the landscape as a place that will be transformed and later colonized.”
