184_Paul Germaine McCoy and Francisco Javier Rivera: In Between

Submission #184 | Paul Germaine McCoy and Francisco Javier Rivera from Texas A&M University — The significance of the objects Barcelona has aggregated to create its urban fabric go beyond the formal intentions flattened on each facade.

We investigate this idea by pushing life and work under one roof.

176_Lorenzo Saroli: An Architecture of Excavation

Submission #176 | Lorenzo Saroli: An Architecture of Excavation — "A common outcry can be heard from Montrealers, pleading for the conservation of their churches. The city’s attachment to the Catholic Church is undeniable, and its evolutionary reliance on it was unmatched. In addition to embodying urban monumentality and punctuating the built environment, the presence of the city’s religious patrimony throughout the urban landscape bore witness to the Church’s importance in all aspects of life – transcending spirituality and religion to deal with social, cultural and political issues."
