Arquitectura Viva 282 - Cristian Izquierdo

Much of architectural history can be interpreted through the lens of the search for a center that orders life. Cristian Izquierdo addressed this theme in 'Centralized Composition', an informed essay in which the Chilean architect and professor explores his roles as both architect and professor, weaving together typological reflections on eight domestic buildings constructed of wood with a central plan, now presented in 'Arquitectura Viva'. This issue's dossier explores the innovative celebrations of the collective and the intimate offered by four buildings for worship.
