This beautifully appointed monograph features stunning full-color photographs and richly detailed plans and diagrams showcasing the work of Spanish architect Luis Vidal and his studio, Luis Vidal + Architects. Renowned writer and international architecture expert Philip Jodidio provides valuable insights into the work of Vidal and eloquently narrates the stories of 14 distinctive projects across a wide international region. The projects in the stunning volume, ranging from private residences and urban buildings to hospitals, airports, and educational and cultural centers, have become a world reference in architecture, design, and construction.
