The architect strongly practices the concept of "Space and Art" and where the city should never loose their social function for which it was originally conceived and constructed.

A complete vision of the paths and ideals of German-born architect (now New York resident) Simon Ungers's compelling work is documented in this wide-ranging survey that brings together examples from three categories--commissions, competitions, and installations--ranging from built houses to schemes for sculpture installations in art galleries. 80 color and b&w illustrations.

A detailed study that examines the architecture of Fernando Martínez Sanabria (b. Spain, lived and worked in Colombia since 1938- d. 1991) throughout one of his most recognized buildings: the building of the Caja Agraria (1965) located in Barranquilla. The author examines this commercial project from its initial design process and proposes an analytical view of the building through its anatomical construction systems of light and semi-darkness developed by architect Martínez Sanabria.
