AV Monographs 270: Portfolio 2024

Upon completing forty years of existence, AV Monographs publishes the second issue of its international Portfolio, which features prominent buildings finished abroad, complementing the already classic Spain Yearbook. This time, twelve works are grouped under the intelligible Vitruvian order, where firmitas highlights the structural nakedness of projects from Bordeaux (NP2F) to Muharraq (Christian Kerez). Utilitas features community experiences from Bangalore (A Threshold) to Taizhou (UAD). Venustas highlights projects serving health, body, and spirit from Zurich (Herzog & de Meuron) to Ostrava (KWK Promes). Luis Fernández-Galiano’s essays chronicle 12 major events of 2024, from global conflicts to climate disasters.
