Power and architecture are fundamental to the question of how
contemporary society and archi- tecture work together. Since power
lacks a comprehensive logic, coherence, and instrumentalization
capability, the question refers both to the autonomous powers of
the architectural forms and toa set of external powers represented
through architecture. The presented series of projects based on
current and extreme syntheses of comprehensive and complex
world-views enables mappinga network of powers that align,
intersect, in ect, and diverge from each other: collective power,
ordaining power, economic power, technological power, ritual power,
cultural power, media power, and domestic power. The issue of
counter power is then discussed against this background.Through
eight essays by contributors, along with images, drawings, and
documents, the book renders visible a set of entities, informal
conventions, stakeholders, and means involved in the creation of
architecture; that is, the dynamics of the collective that
ceaselessly tests the architectural composition of the common
world.
Photographs, newspaper cuttings, postcards, drawings, and slides:
on entering the studio of Eduardo Souto de Moura, winner of the
Pritzker Prize 2011, one is confronted with a variety of images on
the walls that engage in a dialogue. How do these photos, drawings,
and illustrations impact his design practice? What is the
relationship between the image and the completed building? Floating
Images: Eduardo Souto de Moura's Wall Atlas uses this question as
an opportunity to examine the architect's visual universe. He has
added images from his extensive collection of drawings and project
sketches and reorganized them in this atlas. Complex relationships
are formed between the individual illustrations and projects.
Essays by Pedro Bandeira, Eduardo Souto de Moura, Diogo Seixas
Lopes, and Philip Ursprung round off the publication and provide a
contextualization in terms of the history of art and images.
