10 Lost Competitions, 1 Success

Resumen del Libro

Were always reading about the projects that win architectural competitions. But theres much to learn from the projects that lost, too. Architect Lucio Muniain has made his losers – well, call them unrealized projects – into this book, and added one of his winners for good measure. Muniain, who is not yet 40, is one of Mexicos leading young architects and one of the most interesting figures in the contemporary Mexican scene. Each project reflects a versatility of considerations related to programs and contexts. In this way, public and private works, corporate buildings and housing coexist, revealing the challenges assumed by the architect in the process of conceiving projects that remain virtual.
