Alberto Campo Baeza

Firenze University Press of the University of Florence has just launched Otto meditazioni di architettura. The book edited by Professor Matteo Zambelli brings together eight texts by Alberto Campo Baeza and eight by Juhani Pallasmaa.

Beauty, Light, Time, Memory, Universality, Wisdom, Spirituality and Essentiality are the themes of the eight ‘meditations’ by these two architects who join the thinking of northern and southern Europe with their reflections. Eight meditations on themes that transcend time and vogue. Eight readings of architecture that underline how practice must always go hand in hand with theory. Eight meditations by two architects who are convinced that the success of architecture is the result of culture and reflection, and who show how to be contemporary architects it is necessary to confront the past by considering it as the present.

The book is available from Firenze University Press in a print edition and a free digital edition.

The Italian magazine Abitare has published an interesting review of the book. It is available at this link
