Bøger af Josep Miàs

"As a kid who wanted to be an architect you could either make clay shapes, drag pieces of driftwood into vague boxes--or put together Meccano cages. I followed the last option and surely so did Josep Miás". --Peter Cook Tracing through the pieces being published, you sense that Josep Miás is essentially a man who takes strips and edges and develops them into meshes, and then maybe combs, and then maybe honeycombs with a conspicuously boyish delight in making the sketch, the linear diagram, the scale model and the built building. Underlying the apparently fearless is a sense of what can fly, swing, lurch, lean or rest: in other words the composite that makes something possible to be as it is in space. MiAS Architects is an internationally recognized Architecture and Urbanism Studio, founded by Josep Miás in 2000, known for both its innovative experimental projects and its practice combining sustainable technology, innovative manufacturing and cutting edge construction practices.

This catalogue shows the exhibition "The making of making (architecture)" by MIAS architects, exhibited at the Design Museum of Barcelona.The exhibition analyses the design processes of MIAS studio, founded by Josep Miàs in 2000 and proposes a route for the design process through seven concepts: Between lines, Everything could happen, Oniric spaces, Assemblage, Architecture to take away, X-RAYS and Ripped Surfaces. These concepts appeal to the most basic actions of the creative and productive process of study. "Deeply honed and exquisitely crafted, this prolific demonstration is a study in the making of making architecture, through its earliest and slightest emergence as marks on a plane, to its flights in space as a drawing without paper, to its rigorous rehearsal as an investigation of assembly and composition" --Bob Sheil With Contributions by Peter Cook, Izaskun Chinchilla, Bob Sheil, Josep Miàs and Marina Povedano.Published by Actar Publishers & Ajuntament de Barcelona, Museu del DissenyIn English & Catalan
