Abalos + Sentkiewicz: Essays On Thermodynamics, Architecture and Beauty

A compendium of essays and projects, that creates a projective document able to set up new scenarios for the architecture of the next decade. This is a book that unfolds arguments and designs around the concept of 'thermodynamic beauty'. This new aesthetic category opens up new and unexpected directions to the architect's work, connecting architecture and thermodynamics without giving up the tectonic tradition. The compendium is developed through the concepts of Somatisms, Verticalism, Thermodynamic Materialism, Monsters Assemblage, and, summarising design strategies and opening new territories at the scales of building, public space and landscape.
