| Summary: | The architecture of Ricardo Gordon Bak embraces a particular sensibility, balancing fragility with robustness. Sited in the challenging Portuguese landscape, the architect's buildings provide comfortable interiors that engage in direct dialogue with their expansive surrounds. Starting with the House in Pousos, Leiria and Two Houses in Casa Queimada, Tavira, this survey examines an additional 16 works and projects, finishing with the design for the Portuguese Pavilion for ExpoZaragoza, 2008. Generously illustrated, with colour photographs, models, plans, elevations and colour drawings this survey of works and drawings also includes an introductory essay along with a interview with the architect. |
