"Architects reveal the keys to Architecture in their drawings,
their floor plans, sections and also in their writings. It is
important to appreciate the concise texts of Mies Van der Rohe or
the more passionate expressions of Le Corbusier. And that is how I
would like these texts, published here today, to be understood."
Alberto Campo Baeza (born Valladolid, Spain, 1946) is one of the
most important architects of the modern period. The Built Idea
presents a series of seminal texts in which he conveys his most
deeply-held architectural ideas and convictions, exploring and
explaining his foundational influences and subjects such as the
importance of light, the work of his contemporaries, and the future
of architecture, as well as accounts of his own work and personal
anecdotes from a rich and successful life in architecture. "To use
words that express one's intentions clearly is not just a
convenience for architects. One wants to let people know the
meaning behind the things that are being made. My aim in publishing
these texts is precisely that." This book also includes a
photographic documentation of Campo Baeza's greatest works along
with architectural sketches, plans and models to provide a
privileged insight into one of the greatest architectural minds
working today. "And the reasoning on which one bases one's work in
their attempt at Architecture is what is going to be reflected here
in these texts, some of it consciously, some unconsciously.
Realizing the ideas expressed in these words in built works is of
course the best proof that the ideas are valid and the words true."
