Josep Lluís Mateo: On Building: Matter and Form

Josep Llu?s Mateo (born 1949) is one of Spain's--and Europe's--most prolific and visible architects, as energetic as a teacher and lecturer as he is an architect. Mateo has designed corporate headquarters, housing units, office blocks and hotels throughout Western Europe, and has also renovated urban centers in Gerona (Spain) and Castelo Branco (portugal). this volume looks back at nearly 30 years of Mateo's built structures, as portrayed by the architectural photographer Adri? Goula. As well as buildings from the 80s and 90s, it also looks at his most important projects of the past few years, from the Banc Sabadell Headquarters renovation (2004) and the Factory office building in Boulogne-Billancourt, France (2010) to the PGGM Headquarters in Zeist, Holland (2011) and the Catalonian Film Theater in Barcelona (2011). Interspersed among Goula's photographs are Mateo's observations and musings on architecture.
