AV Proyectos 80 devotes its dossier to the Madrid architect Andrés Jaque and his Office for Political Innovation, a platform for thought and debate from which he explores the political dimension of architecture with projects like Le Bateau-Cuisinier – where residential uses are combined with production facilities and intergenerational care centers -, a prototype for social encounter in Masdar, or the exhibition ‘Superpowers of Ten’.
The issue also features the competition for the Italian bottled water company San Pellegrino, examining the winning proposal by the Danish studio BIG, as well as the three finalists: MVRDV, Snøhetta, and aDML.
