His most representative building is the Headquarters of the Caja de Granada, finished in 2001. He is just now about to start the construction of his first house in the USA: the Olnick Spanu House in Garrison, New York (2004).

His work has been extensively awarded.

A book of his collected writings "THE BUILT IDEA" has become the 4th edition and some monographs on his work have been published: in Spain ("CAMPO BAEZA 1971-1996", Ed. Munilla Lería. Madrid, 1996), in USA ("CAMPO BAEZA", Rockport Ed. Massachusetts, 1997) in Japan ("CAMPO BAEZA", Graphic-Sha Ed. Tokyo, 1997). And it has been published too the English edition of the last monography (“ALBERTO CAMPO BAEZA”, Gustavo Gili Ed. Barcelona 1999), wich has been updated in its italian version (“ALBERTO CAMPO BAEZA”, Electa Ed. Milano, 2004).

His work has been published in most major architectural magazines in the world and he has been exhibited in many major cities. In April 2003 there was a great exhibition of his work in the Crown Hall at the IIT in Chicago, and in September it was shown in the Urban Center in New York. In 2004, a selective exhibition was shown in the Palladio´s Basilica in Vicenza (Italy). During 2005, this exhibition will be shown in Sta. Irene Church, coinciding with the UIA Congress in Istanbul.

"light is more"


Alberto Campo Baeza is one of the most singular architects on the international panorama with a body of work distinguished by his masterful use of light.
His command of pure forms, scale and proportion are combined with an economy of means that have led him to enounce his own particular dictum: More with Less. Achieving the maximum, most spectacular effect with the minimum number of elements.




"silence versus so much deafening noise. simplicity versus so much complication. white and simple architecture attempts to achieve everything with almost nothing: more with less"

The glass box placed upon the platform...De Blas House, Madryt



http://www.campobaeza.com/_obras/66_Casa%20De%20Blas/66_Casa%20De%20Blas_foto_01_g.jpg

The architect says: "This house attempts to be a literal translation of a tectonic box set upon a stereotomic question: a tectonic piece set upon a stereotomic box. A distillation of what is essential in architecture. Once again, 'more with less'.

'A grand semi-cubical volume has been created, which punctuates the skyline of this new part of the city. In order to resolve the problem of a sloping site and the ground floor level, a great base has been created between the two highways that border the site. Into this podium, parking areas and space for future expansions are created. The two northern facades, giving onto the individual office spaces, receive the
pure and even light characteristic of this orientation, and are enclosed by stone and glass in horizontal bands'.

I'm very thankful that I had a chance to hear him lecture when I was in college. The introduction was from a profressor at the college, and she almost started to cry. She was very moved by his work! If I ever see anyone in person I can reenact the intro.

Was the DVD for an exhibit?

Thanks for sharing!
