Vigas y pórticos

This monumental work is a detailed catalogue of the public architecture competitions in Argentina between 1825 and 2006. It is organized chronologically, and each entry includes information on the competition itself (location, dates, sponsors, juries, etc.) and the construction, as well as a brief history and bibliography. The entire book is rich in images, including photographs, maps, and architectural plans.

Este completo trabajo, realizado con una moderna metodología y desde aspectos pocas veces contemplados en profundidad, sorprende por lo novedoso de su planteamiento, fuera de unas coordinadas meramente tipológicas, biográficas o cronológicas como viene siendo usual en la mayoría de los estudios españoles del siglo XIX.

Adolphe Appia, es el artista visionario que impulsa el cambio de la concepción escenográfica del siglo XX. Un estudio pormenorizado de su obra equivale a un análisis en profundidad de los fundamentos de la escenografía moderna. Propicia un cambio tan significativo para la plástica teatral, una revolución que sustituye la narrativa pictórica de los decorados teatrales por efímeras arquitecturas de luz y sonido.
