ART05- Research in Architecture (2)
Félix SolagurenAfter the first volume of Research in Architecture, Félix Solaguren-Beascoa returns with a new instalment that continues and extends his critical reading and academic accompaniment through a selection of doctoral theses. The result is much more than a compilation: it is an atlas of affinities, a system of resonances between projects, contexts, architects and geographies.
Commenting on more than twenty theses, Solaguren traces a subtle system of references ranging from the work of Arne Jacobsen, the figure of Álvaro Siza and the writings of Martienssen to contemporary urban phenomena, Mediterranean architecture and projects that engage in a dialogue with landscape and memory.
The common thread running through the volume is the 'round trip': a motif that works both literally and metaphorically. The texts explore the tensions between northern and southern Europe, between modernity and tradition, between theory and built work. Along the way, the author demonstrates a unique talent for linking contexts, identifying resonances and opening up new perspectives on seemingly disparate materials.
With a clear, narrative and precise style, Solaguren makes each entry a gateway not only to a specific thesis but also to a way of looking at architecture as thought in construction. The result is a volume that not only documents but also guides: an invaluable guide for students, postgraduates and architects who seek in research an active tool for design and criticism.
