Alcolea + Tárrago   Spain   Built with loadbearing walls of reinforced concrete and boards of pinewood, this house for a young couple with small children frees up as much land as possible without sacrificing views.

Iñaki Bergera   Architectural photography, especially of the kind that contextualizes architecture in the complexity and heterodoxy of its urban and territorial dimensions, wanted its own internal competition and external recognition. This is the idea that the Portu

The architect and photographer Iñaki Bergera (Vitoria, 1972) has for over a decade been documenting the ruins of the Panticosa spa facilities, in the heart of the Pyrenees of Huesca. Initiated in 2011, his Standstill Architecture photographic series

Iñaki Bergera   From childhood we want to climb trees, reach the top of a tower, or stand on a cliff’s edge for thrilling views. Since the 19th century the modern city has been associated with verticality, the dream of ever taller buildings in defiance of structural

Iñaki Bergera   The enthusiasm of Angelo Maggi, a historian of architectural photography, led the heirs of George Everard Kidder Smith (1913-1997) to move his archive from New York to the Università Iuav di Venezia. A fruit of this donation is this first monograph e

Iñaki Bergera   One could make a family album of Spanish architecture from the Transition to democracy to the dawn of the 21st century using only photographs by Lluís Casals. He had colleagues like Ferrán Freixa, Hisao Suzuki, Duccio Malagamba, or Luis Asín, but Cas

Iñaki Bergera   This is a homage to photography and to a city which, paradoxically, plays a secondary role in a visual account. In Madrid, a human landscape lords over the urban one, actors take center stage against the backdrop of props. Madrid – with its popular a
