Description:
EA. «The book Earth, Water, Air, Fire: The Four Elements and Architecture is the seventh (and last) Architectural Paper that was developed at ETH Zürich Chair of Architecture by Dr. Josep Lluis Mateo. Mateo, an architect and professor has become one of our most established clients over the past few years and he entrusted us to design the publication which constitutes all the final outcomes of the course he directs in ETH Zürich. Co-authored by the Austrian architect Florian Sauter, the book addresses how nature and life are connected to the four principles of Earth, Water, Air and Fire and how natural elements should inspire our architectural actions today. Published by the New York and Barcelona-based Actar Publishers, the publication features contributions by internationally renowned figures such as Iñaki Ábalos, Günther Vogt, Stan Allen and Tadao Ando, among many others».
