Arquitectura Viva 260 - On Visual Thinking

The AV/Arquitectura Viva project celebrates in 2024 its fortieth year, and the magazine has wanted to mark the occasion with a special issue that reproduces the last lesson Luis Fernandez-Galiano gave at the Madrid School of Architecture before his retirement. Reviewing a life trajectory essentially devoted to communicating architecture, the director of the magazines shows the back side of the publications to explain their history, and unravels how images, as much as words, have been his tools to understand the world; an approximation to visual thinking that is completed with a thematic section of books that reviews different editions focussed on the gaze.
