AV Proyectos 128 - Community Care

Community Care is the focus of 'AV Proyectos 128', featuring six projects that address specific needs through thoughtful, collective-oriented architecture by firms such as Mae Architects, Vivas Arquitectos, and Dorte Mandrup. Architect Paz Martin opens the dossier with an essay on how care can inform design strategies, while Izaskun Chinchilla discusses the "city of care" and its broader architectural context. The Process section highlights Herzog & de Meuron's innovative healthcare complex in North Zealand, challenging conventional hospital typologies. The issue also explores Albania's high-rise boom, with proposals by MVRDV, Valerio Olgiati, and Bofill Taller de Arquitectura. Finally, Luis Fernandez-Galiano reflects on Cesar Manrique's legacy through two recent tributes to the Lanzarote artist.
