about

This book is a comprehensive and beautifully photographed collection of the architecture of Manuel Aires Mateus by architectural photographer Juan Rodrigues. With a keen eye and a feel for form, mass and light, Rodrigues chose the harsh contrasts of black and white film and dramatic lighting effects to document the renowned Portuguese architect's work, which has a strong sculptural character. The geometric shapes of his buildings, usually in white, with their distinctive clean lines and bold volumes, stand out dramatically in their respective contexts, be they natural landscapes or urban settings.

When you first pick it up, you get the impression that it's a pitch black book, but once you start turning the pages, you can't stop. The beautiful contrast of light and shadow is irresistible for architecture lovers. There are some large scratches and scuffs on the front and back covers, but the text is in good condition. Please check before purchasing.
