Fernando Menis, topography and materiality ; [exhibition February 2 - March 19, 2006, Aedes East, Hackesche Höfe]

More about the book

"In his monolithic and sculptural building, Spanish architect Fernando Menis has discovered a formal idiom and an expressive power that is not only indebted to international modernism, but is also impressed by Tenerifian resources and building traditions. His projects insert themselves quite naturally into the volcanic topography of the surrounding landscape while at the same time setting highly conspicuous accents. Both this exhibition and its accompanying catalog demonstrate that both conceptually and in terms of design, Fernando Menis has confidently taken his own paths, not only in his large-scale architectural undertakings, but also in his intensive activities involving urban planning projects".--Introduction.
