Sobre las casas Kaufmann:dos dibujos y una fotografía

This article explores the Kaufmann family houses, their architects and the american world of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. . The first, designed by Benno Janssen, is not widely known but it is fantastic because it is capable of creating a landscape where it does not exist. I love it.

La arquitectura en la literatura de ciencia-ficción

En esta Tesis se estudian las Imágenes Arquitectónicas que aparecen descritas en textos literarios de Ciencia Ficción dentro del periodo temporal que limitan los años 1.926 a 1.976. Consta de tres partes fundamentales: En la primera, se plantean las condiciones y objetivos del trabajo y se define el espacio conceptual que ocupa la Arquitectura descrita en Ciencia Ficción. En la segunda, se realizan análisis sobre las formas y temas arquitectónicos, así como de problemas relacionados con ellos que se encuentran en la narrativa fantacientífica, y se desarrollan ideas e hipótesis especulativas, sobre sugerencias referidas a situaciones reales o imaginarias, partiendo de posiciones implícitas en los relatos.
