A bold and leisurely journey through contemporary architecture, exploring connections, references, and quotations. It is a wandering exploration from the masters of the Modern Movement to Moneo, Ito, Piano, Aires Mateus, Olgiati, Caruso St John, Tham & Videgård, and Macías Peredo, uncovering unexpected pairings: Gropius-Wright, Aalto-Alberti, Le Corbusier-Palladio, Baldeweg-Soane, Campo Baeza-Lubetkin, Chipperfield-Rossi. Discover Siza’s chameleonic talent and his extensive citational approach (Loos, Le Corbusier, Aalto, Wright, Bo Bardi), along with the perhaps unexpected affinities between Barragán and Josef Albers, Steven Holl and Piero Manzoni, John Hejduk and Piet Mondrian, or Aldo Rossi and Bruno Munari.
