The Spanish architect and urban planner Manuel de Solà-Morales has
made successful interventions in urban landscapes from Antwerp to
Trieste, Groningen to Porto, and from Barcelona to The Hague. For him a
city does not consist of abstractions, but of concrete, tangible
buildings and public spaces. By intervening--precisely and with great
care--in this physical reality, with projects at the interface of
architecture and urban planning, Solà-Morales effects changes in the
city that transcend his work's physical or spatial dimensions. This
monograph unites his oeuvre for the first time, documenting it
extensively in word and image, with particular attention to larger and
more important projects and realizations of his recent years. Alongside
texts by Manuel de Solà-Morales himself, it includes a comprehensive
essay by Columbia University's Kenneth Frampton.
