Usted está aquí - Recetas Urbanas 2018

This publication contains a collection of texts by Santiago Cirugeda and Alice Attout that revolve around the most decisive projects in the long history of their studio Recetas Urbanas. Deliberately reluctant to elaborate a theoretical and analytical discourse, inevitably aseptic and abstract, these texts adopt the narrative form of the anecdote precisely to allow the account of real and concrete “architectural actions”, thus highlighting the uniqueness of each case study and the centrality of people’s lives in all transformation processes, including architectural ones.

Also included are several essays by Elvira Dyangani Ose (curator of the exhibition You are here, senior curator of Creative Time and professor of Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths College in London), Pascal Gielen (full professor of sociology of art and politics at the Arts Research Institute of Antwerp), Kristine Guzmán (director of the AA Arte y Arquitectura MUSAC series) and Raúl Muñoz de la Vega (assistant curator of the project You are here).
