Miradas sobre el paisaje

Este libro recoge con una visión general y unitaria, el devenir de la arquitectura occidental a través del tiempo, desde sus orígenes remotos hasta nuestra misma contemporaneidad. No es ni pretende ser una historia convencional de la arquitectura, sino una introducción a su estudio que desvele sus claves y permita acceder a su realidad tanto al profesional como al aficionado, y especialmente a quien se acerca a la arquitectura por primera vez.

Esta obra procura proporcionar una ayuda sistemática basada en la relación entre los materiales para la construcción como un todo y los factores contra los cuales deben resistir. En consecuencia, cada uno de los factores se explica por separado en función de su naturaleza y propiedades y luego se relaciona a una categoría específica. También se incluyen las propiedades de todos los materiales relativos a cada factor.

This view of the current world of architecture is presented through analysis of the projects of the most recognized and respected architects, but also the most innovative ones and those of the new generations.
