Els nous realistes / The New Realists

Arquitectura catalana i balear d’ençà la crisi de 2008 / Catalan and Balearic Architecture from the 2008 Crisis

Author/s
Carme Ribas (Editor), Joan Roig (Editor) and Diversos autors (Text)

Discover how a new generation of architects is turning crisis into opportunity: sustainability, realism and innovation from Catalonia and the Balearic Islands.

This book documents and reflects on Catalan and Balearic architecture that arose in the aftermath of the 2008 crisis. It brings together a selection of standout projects that embody a new architectural attitude: committed to the land, to local resources and to social needs.

With essays by curators Carme Ribas and Joan Roig, alongside contributions from fellow experts, the book offers a deep and critical look at how young architects have adapted their practice to a shifting landscape, championing a form of architecture that is realistic, austere and value-driven.

Photographs, blueprints and critical texts combine academic rigour with visual appeal. Essential reading for professionals and students alike: an exemplary tool for architects, urban planners, teachers and researchers.
