"Actitud" is added to GG collection that already has titles dedicated to Juhani Pallasmaa (Habitar), Francesco Careri (Pasear, Detenerse), Pier Vittorio Aureli (Menos es suficiente).
The small book includes four texts by two architects who have been able to combine a popular architectural culture loaded with common sense with all the baggage of the history of modern architecture.
This book brings together for the first time several writings by Lacaton & Vassal, the pair of French architects who, since breaking into the international architectural scene in the early 1990s, have become an inescapable reference to a way of making architecture that prefers the ethics and the economy in front of the spectacularity of the star architect. Its attitude towards architecture, which has become an inescapable reference for several generations of architects, prioritizes the real needs of users against aesthetic decisions, offers more space for the same price and proposes to rehabilitate before demolish and rebuild.
Despite of the little that these architects prodigy writing and the programmatic nature of their texts, this book brings together a series of writings in which, far from any personalistic rhetoric, the architects not only reflect on their work. They too reflect about the role of Architecture in the world today and, above all, how to approach to architecture from ethics and rationality.
