Geo Logics

Vicente Guallart, pioneer of new media, examines the technological, social and cultural changes in our information society for new urban building. Presenting the last 15 years of his work, this book investigates architecture’s ability to construct systems for inhabitable environments in diverse environmental, social, and economic conditions. He crosses boundaries through collaborations in geology, sociology, engineering, economics, software and interface design. The projects follow a “natural” logic, referring to components originating in nature, as well as to environmental systems. A logic that connects nature with the transformations of urban spaces, social organizations, and the digital world.
Merging architecture, nature, new technology, Guallart (b. Valencia 1963) is one of today’s most exciting Spanish architects. He directs Sociópolis (Valencia), an innovative housing project for urban and environmental development by international architects.
