El Croquis 231: SelgasCano (2014–2025) Loose Parts Play

Description

The Spanish architecture firm SelgasCano was founded in 1998 by architects José Selgas and Lucía Cano, who have since built a reputation for their creative use of materials and focus on the relationship between architecture and nature. Following on an earlier issue of ‘El Croquis’ featuring work by the Madrid-based practice completed between 2003 and 2013, this one presents the studio’s work since then, including the Bathing Pavilion at the Bruges Triennial, Beijing Xicheng Exhibition Hall, a bookshop on Hanbury Street in London, and several homes. The studio is recognised for its lightweight, transparent designs and experimental use of colour and new technologies.
