This comprehensive volume documents the work of the Argentine architect, graphic designer,
and industrial designer Emilio Ambasz. Ambasz’s main concern is to integrate nature and
construction into architectural design, which is why he is regarded as one of the most important
pioneers of Green Architecture. In his work a combination of landscape and architecture
emerges, in which his respect for the environment and ecological sustainability becomes clear. A
prime example of this is the Fukuoka Prefectural International Hall in Japan: a building that
houses more than 100,000 m2 of exhibition spaces, theaters, and offices is also an open green
area in the form of a hanging garden.
In addition to the documentation of Ambasz’s architectural, graphic, industrial, and exhibition
design, this publication contains essays by Barry Bergdoll, Kenneth Frampton, and Peter
Buchanan, as well as three interviews with Emilio Ambasz, conducted by Michael Sorkin, James
Wines, and Hans Ulrich Obrist.
