Working: 20 Projects in Process
Since TEN Arquitectos was first published in 1998, the firm founded by Enrique Norten has soared to a position of international renown. In addition to important competition-winning proposals--the Visual and Performing Arts Library in Brooklyn and the Guggenheim Guadalajara, among others--Norten and his firm have a rich variety of projects on the drawings boards: Harlem Park, a thirty-four-story mixed-use project in Upper Manhattan; a renovation of Mexico City's Chopo Museum, the gallery of the national university; the Busan Cinema Complex in Korea; the National Laboratory of Genomics for Biodiversity in Guanajuato; and hotels and residential buildings in New York, West Hollywood, and Prague. Conceived to represent the current state of the practice, Working shows twenty unbuilt and in-progress projects with an emphasis on the design process. Sketches give way to study models and then to polished renderings; at each stage in the development of a design, numerous iterations show various directions and investigations. The collection of projects is a timely record of the works by this notable firm..

Icons De Yturbe: Arquitectos Mexico
Born in 1942, Jose de Ytube studied under the great precursors of Mexican architecture - Lusi Barragan, Juan O'Gorman among others. Through his projects, Yturbe has defined the new, ground aesthetic rules in contemporary architecture: buildings biologically incorporate to their environment, with bold and balanced lines, great cylinders, crunchy rectangles that toy with curves and seemingly endless lines, always flooded with warm, vibrant colors, thus creating unique spaces - both personal and generous in space and light distribution.
