Description
Edited by Arquitectura Viva in collaboration with the ICO Foundation, Carme Pinós. Escenarios para la Vida reviews the career of the Barcelona-based architect. It begins with the eight works she co-signed with Enric Miralles, including the Igualada Cemetery, the Morella school-home, and the Huesca Sports Palace. The catalog then explores eighty subsequent works and projects developed with her studio since 1991, featuring significant buildings such as the CaixaForum in Zaragoza, the Cube towers in Guadalajara (Mexico), and interventions in La Gardunya Square in Barcelona, including the iconic Massana School of Art and Design.
Bound in cloth and hardcover, with 240 pages and bilingual Spanish-English edition, the catalog not only includes the introductory text by Luis Fernández-Galiano —the exhibition curator—, but also an interview by Izaskun Chinchilla. In this interview, Pinós reveals her concern for the context, emphasizing, «Architecture constructs landscape or constructs city: it is not a sculpture. With every urban intervention, we must have the purpose of making a city, the purpose of dignifying our environment.»
