Restes d’arquitectura i crítica de la cultura presents twenty-six articles by Josep Quetglas (Palma, 1946) written between 2002 and 2017. This new title, which is being published ten years after his last book of essays, brings together texts from classes, conferences and papers which, had they not been collected, would have remained separate and, being difficult to locate, would have been lost.

Restes presents an unconnected constellation of subjects, works and authors that nonetheless reveals the nature of architecture and culture over the last century. Among the names analysed are Walter Benjamin, Adolf Loos, Sylvia Bataille, Agustín García Calvo, Le Corbusier, Rafael Moneo, Enric Miralles, Aurora Picornell and Antonio Gramsci.

Restes d’arquitectura i crítica de la cultura is the third volume of the collection of essays published by Barcelona City Council – Institute of Culture, La Virreina Centre de la Imatge and Arcadia.
