ARCHITECTURE AS SPACE FOR PEOPLE

António Carvalho: Architecture as Space for People emerges as a necessary book right from the first pages, supplying with information and works about a practice which has not gain the press notoriety that so far it would have deserved, despite the fact of being a small office with a limited number of built works, roughly two per year during the last thirty if we consider both large public commissions and small private ones. For all, it is possible to recognise a high level of design and construction, being always well executed despite dimensions (large or small), clients (public or private), locations (urban or rural), materials (bricks or concrete), typologies (buildings or parks), showing how the architect is confident with any work condition and how is able to imprint his own vision/idea of architecture in each commission gained.
