Campo Baeza Complete Works
Foreword by Richard Meier Introduction by Jesus Aparicio Interview by Manuel Blanco Epilogue by David Chipper Edited by Oscar Riera Ojeda
This monograph presents one of the most unique voices in contemporary architecture whose collection of built work makes a compelling case, with some help from Hisao Suzuki’s photography, for the power of radical simplicity. Included amongst the projects featured are the Andalucia Museum of Memory and Caja Granada, two contiguous buildings united in a quiet yet monumental about Granada, and its history, as well as other instant classics such as the Asencio Gaspar, and Turegano houses.
All share a basic dedication to simple composition with unadorned masses and show Baeza’s uncompromising exercise of disciplined restraint in achieving architectural silence, his laconic answer to the deafening noise of the contemporary city. The projects explored in the book span four decades of an international architectural practice. Contributions by Richard Meyer, Jesus Aparicio, Kenneth Frampton, and Manuel Blanco offer critical commentary on Baeza’s persistent quest for beauty and relevance by means of simplicity.
