2G 53 Cecilia Puga (2G: International Architecture Review) (2G: International Architecture Review Series) (English and Spanish Edition)

This number of 2G brings together seventeen buildings and projects by the Chilean architect, including the exemplary House in Bahía Azul, in which the classic icon of the section of a house -the outline any child might draw- is manipulated, pivoted and transformed to produce a sense of strangeness in relation to its environment. Situated at the edge of a bare cliff on the Chilean coast, the icon is toned down and the house seems like a strange ruin in the landscape, almost. The magazine contains introductory texts by her colleague Smiljan Radic and the Chilean architect and editor Patricio Mardones. In the nexus section, a personal photo album includes the Chilean vernacular architecture and landscapes that form an inspiration for Puga's work.
