24 World Houses (AV 227-228)

The Covid-19 pandemic has put the vital importance of domestic space on the forefront, and the latest double issue of the magazine AV Monographs presents a selection of 24 residences – 12 in Spain, 12 in other countries – designed by internationally prestigious architectural practices, including those headed by Emilio Tuñón, Harquitectes, OFFICE, Ryue Nishizawa, Aires Mateus, Alejandro Aravena, and Smiljan Radic, with special emphasis on construction details, material quality, and interior designs. A multipart essay by the editor, Luis Fernández-Galiano, throws light on the timeless character of eight spaces of the home.
