Architecture 2011- 2021
This monograph covers the last decade of production by the Barozzi Veiga studio.
18 projects are collected in 266 pages that show the best of the international trajectory of these architects through the completed works and those that are to come as a result of competitions in which they always stand out thanks to their ability, beyond solving a problem to condense the essence and character of a project to build a new mental place.
The work of Barozzi and Veiga, oblivious to any explicit belonging to currents or schools of contemporary architecture, must be read as an original response to a genuine need to return to architectural language a speaking role, capable of giving voice to instances of permanence in time , of representativeness also sometimes purely symbolic, but above all of intense interpretation of the characters of the cities and landscapes with which it is put in dialogue.

His idea of "sentimental monumentality" means an architecture capable of interpreting and marking the identity of a place, but in a subtle, allusive, evocative way, never high-sounding: exactly what happens with the Szczecin Philharmonic, or with stone blocks perforated from the liminal square of Roa, or with the small tower covered with ornamental concrete slabs of the Chur museum.
The set of plans and documentation included in this monograph shows the importance of material, technical-constructive decisions, in the condensation of the character of his proposals and the construction of those mental places. Or as they have also described it on occasion, "the contribution of technical requirements to the poetry of the project."
What these works present with an exciting naturalness is the result of an extremely delicate balance that is difficult to carry out; a synthesis, digested and autonomous, of the best of the European construction tradition of the last 50 or 60 years.
