Description: Catalogue of 14 architectural projects by Vicente Alonso Ibarra (b. Mexico, 1942). Alonso Ibarra is the general director of the architectural firm PRAXIS Arquitectura and has worked in more than 60 projects including housing, commercial and industrial complexes, sports and tourism facilities office and residential buildings as well as private homes. Alonso Ibarra architecture is characteristic for open and luminous geometric spaces and the superposition of different planes, resolved with natural and monochromatic materials and textures that generate neutral environments, low contrasts, and subtle changes. "His work can be interpreted as a manifesto against architecture as an object, lonely or self-referential, the rejection to self-indulgence, to be replaced by an expression of the architect's reflective commitment to his city." --Page 13.
