Josep Lluis 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 Adria 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.
The International Exposition, Expo Zaragoza 2008, is one of the
greatest international events of the year, featuring large scale

designs of acclaimed architects Enrique de Teresa, Nieto y
Sobejano, Francisco Mangado, Olano y Mendo Arquitectos, lvaro
Planchuelo, Torres y Martinez Lapea, ACXT and Zaha Hadid hosted the
different events and pavillions. This volume analyses the making of
the architectonic complex and its landscape, critically examining
the meaning and importance of Expo Zaragoza 2008 as a 21st century
model for an urban development strategy. The architectonic pieces
reflect the cultural and social dynamics transforming architecture
today in Spain.
