Elemental epitomises a new generation of pioneering, socially engaged architects. Led by Pritzker Prize-winner Alejandro Aravena, Elemental specialises in innovative, powerful, and humane public-interest projects, working on both large and small scales across Chile, the United States, Mexico, Switzerland, and China.
This book beautifully displays Elemental’s unique working methods and philosophy: each project – from iconic structures like the Siamese Towers to elegant low-cost housing – is accompanied by Aravena’s engaging texts, bringing to life his understanding of civil society and the built environment.
