In recent years, Carlos Ferrater's architecture studio has
regularly and continuously developed new avenues for formal
expression. This collection of projects comprises a family of
independent experiences, joined by a common logic of design
approximation: Geometry as a means of approximating landscape and
urban forms. The book is divided into three parts: The time of
Geometry, Research Process and Ideographical Resources. This
framework aims to define the conditions whereby the job of
architecture is to move from geometry to space by means of
construction. Carlos Ferrater's (Barcelona, 1944) works include:
Hotel Rey Juan Carlos I in Barcelona; three blocks in Cerda's
Ensanche; Housing complex at the Olympic Village Valle Hebron;
Yacht Club in Estartit; Impiva Headquarters; Botanical Garden in
Barcelona; and, Convention Center of Catalunya.
