AV Proyectos 105: NP2F

Featured are a spotlight on the French studio NP2F, which uses drawing to grasp the logic that comes with a location and foresee its potential future, focusing on the essential and on an economy of gestures. In addition, the magazine presents five projects from the international competition “Shenzhen Ten Cultural Facilities of New Era”, submitted by Jean Nouvel, Dominique Perrault, Sou Fujimoto, EMBT, and SANAA. Other features include the varied uses of ceramic materials as seen through five buildings in Catalonia by local studios and Gregory Crewdson’s dystopian urban landscapes, photographs closer to the world of dreams and the imagination than to the reality we know.
