Of the around 20 biennials and triennials worldwide devoted to
architecture, the Venice Architecture Biennale is the most
prominent, considered as the world's leading biannual architecture
festival. The participating architects selected every second year
come from around the world to engage in the most important
information exchange in the world of architecture. Aires Mateus
Architects is the architectural practice operated by two brothers,
Manuel and Francisco Aires Mateus. They have been invited five
times to participate in Venice. This publication will introduce the
five architectural installations they contributed to the biennales
in the last decade. The publication consists of five individual
parts, each of them a separate book, and held together by a
French-fold-dustjacket. Each book is dedicated to one exhibition in
Venice. The beautiful projects presented in this volume set an
outstanding example of architectural installations reflecting space
in a sensitive, poetic and mathematical way. Over the last three
decades, Aires Mateus have gained international recognition for
their contemporary reinterpretation of architectural traditions in
Portugal. Their work is poetic in nature, and much of it is based
on constant exploration and experimentation. Their abstract
architectural installations are the artistic manifestation of this
work. Every installation will be introduced with a short essay,
especially written for this publication by philosophers,
architects, and an art critic. With contributions by Francisco and
Manuel Aires Mateus, Ricardo Carvalho, Nuno Crespo, Sofia Pinto
Basto, Paulo Pires do Vale, and Delfim Sardo.

This poetic and minimalist anthology presents 10 years of heritage
of AIRES MATEUS design studios at the Accademia di Archittettura di
Mendrisio in Switzerland.100 images of largescale models built by
students of AIRES MATEUS are brought together to create a family
portrait. Each expertly staged model is pictured with the essential
schemes necessary to understand the volumes portrayed. Francisco
and Manuel Aires Mateus’ many years of experience in pedagogy and
the use of models in practice are brought together in a manifesto
which precedes the anthology of images. The importance of the model
in the formation of architectural ideas and throughout the design
process, as well as its potency as a standalone statement are
highlighted. The evocative photographs in this book reveal abstract
spaces produced by artistic interpretations of light, volume and
materiality.
