Julio Cano Lasso: Natures

By Julio Cano Lasso

The first English-language monograph on the leading light of postwar Spanish rationalist architecture

Spanish architect Julio Cano Lasso (1920-96) was celebrated for his rational and austerely engineered buildings as well as his commitment to designing social housing and urban infrastructure. Lasso's buildings--such as his Madrid apartment blocks and the Spanish pavilion he designed for the 1992 Seville Universal Exposition--are practical, modern and immediately recognizable for their bare-bones aesthetic. Through previously unpublished texts by authors such as William J.R. Curtis, Juhani Pallasmaa, I?aki ?balos and Juan Navarro Baldeweg, as well as recent photographs by Iwan Baan, Natures presents the legacy of this great architect. It combines texts and photographs made specially for this edition with a careful selection of archival images by renowned photographers such as Paco G?mez and Carlos P?rez Siquier, as well as texts and photographs by Julio Cano Lasso himself.
