Diametro

Miquel Adrià

Ten brilliant projects from the international award-winning firm Diametro Arquitectos, led by David Cherem, distill the essence of contemporary Mexican modernism in this elegantly photographed volume. Combining typical Mexican materials like concrete, stone and wood with ultra- modern computer-aided design flourishes and lots of geometric Wow Factor, the firm’s works range from eye-popping private homes and condos to hotels to corporate mega-developments within the trendiest neighborhoods of Mexico City and beach resort towns. Of the ten projects featured here, six are apartment blocks that show Diametro’s ability to make its buildings fit in to their surroundings and yet explode with innovation and luxury within their walls.

CLUB DONNY # 9

Samira Ben Laloua, Frank Bruggeman & Ernst van der Hoeven (Eds.)

Club Donny is a biannual magazine on the personal experience of nature in the urban environment. Contributors share views on common use and contact with the city and the associated perception of nature, offering a podium for observations, coincidences, stories and encounters to bring forward the incongruous meaning of nature. Club Donny# 9 launched as a part of the “Mapping Fleuvoland” project, which documents the re-wilding of a nature preserve in The Netherlands—from the Museum De Paviljoens, Almere. Includes 14 photographs in poster format, articles, and contributions from Annick Kleizen, Jan van Adrichem, Maarten Feenstra, Marcel van der Meijs, Petrovsky and Ramone, Wilfried Nijhof, Wouter Sibum, Yasuyuki Takagi and Yeb Wiersma, among others.
