Coming from the South

In reply to the architecture being made in central Europe, Eduard Bru defends and revindicates the way of making architecture in the south. Not all cities will be diffuse, nor are all territories flat or all nations wealthy. Eduard Bru proposes a reflection on the present and the immediate future of the built environment, using parameters that are different to those of dominant Dutch/North American thinking. He does this by using his own projects and writings, and also those of friends who, like him, come from the south. He defends, for poorer countries, a constructing of space by means of non-ephermeral, highly neutral, even atemporal objects situated in settings that become, with the aid of passing time, highly meaningful for the presence and action of the landscape. This book is also available in a Spanish language version, ISBN 84-95273-18-7.
