Elemental
Hardback
Based in Santiago, Chile, Elemental epitomises a new generation of pioneering, socially engaged architects. Led by Pritzker Prize-winner Alejandro Aravena, Elemental specializes in innovative, powerful, and humane public-interest projects, working on both large and small scales across Chile, the United States, Mexico, Switzerland, and China. This book beautifully, often irreverently, displays Elemental's unique working methods and philosophy: each project - from iconic structures like the Siamese Towers to elegant low-cost housing - is accompanied by Aravena's engaging texts, bringing to life his understanding of civil society and the built environment.
