AV Proyectos 090 - Dossier Jose Maria Sanchez

The dossier in AV Proyectos 090 is devoted to the Madrid-based studio of Jose Maria Sanchez Garcia, whose latest projects in Spain and Switzerland reveal, through precise gestures and structural sincerity, pure geometries and marked rhythms, an architecture that is respectful to context and heritage. The issue also features the six proposals shortlisted in the competition to design Melbourne's tallest skyscraper, Southbank Tower, in which finally UNStudio's proposal was chosen over those of teams like OMA, MVRDV, BIG, Coop Himmelb(l)au and MAD. The construction chapter shows four innovative proposals for pavilions built with different materials: plastic, metal, fabric, and concrete.
