Casas Ibéricas

José Manuel das Neves

Selected by the author, this book presents 26 houses designed by Portuguese and Spanish architects, divided into three architectonic themes – land, city and tectonic – which are subordinate to the main theme. The houses are approached according to their most obvious aspects: the relationship which they establish with the land and landscape (natural or artificial), as well as the construction based on classic material alongside increasing investigation into and experimentation with new forms and textures of architecture.

This magnificent book is a window to dazzling houses of our peninsula which mould themselves to their environment, green or concrete, and push the barriers of architectural harmony.

Please note: This book is only available in Portuguese/Spanish.
