Now available in bookstores is the monograph dedicated to the houses of the Spanish architect Alberto Campo Baeza. Campo Baeza is one of the most renowned Spanish architects in the international arena. Without being a Superstar, his works, described as profound, intense and radical, are analysed in many schools of architecture around the world.

Campo Baeza is the most senior Professor of his Department at the School of Architecture of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, where he continues to give classes daily to over 150 students.

He has recently been elected as a member of the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts. There have been monographic exhibitions of his work in such emblematic places as Mies’s Crown Hall in Chicago, the Basilica Palladiana in Vicenza, the Basilica of Saint Irene in Istanbul and most recently at the MAXXI in Rome or at the church of San Sebastiano by Alberti in Mantua.

In the digital community, his page www.campobaeza.com has received more than half a million visitors and his Flickr page almost two million. Archicreation is one of the most prestigious publications of its kind in China. Set up under the auspices of the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design, it enjoys an excellent distribution network worldwide.

The publication of this special edition comprising over 300 pages on Campo Baeza, in Chinese and in English, clearly signals the interest oriental teaching centres have in European architects, although Campo Baeza had already given lectures in China some years ago.

Moreover this monograph is extensive, very complete and includes, with a front-cover image, the House of the Infinite in Zahara-Cadiz with especially interesting documentation.

The journal also includes some of his latest theoretical texts.
