There is no better way to see how a piece of architecture fits in with its surroundings than to observe its pure white silhouette. A new appreciation for architectural form and creative genius develops when the viewer is confronted with the blank space where a building used to be, but now, on the page, is not. Featuring ancient marvels and contemporary gems, the conspicuously absent work of Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe, Zaha Hadid, Frank Lloyd Wright and many more provides for a delightful trip around the world for architecture and design lovers.

Jose Dávila's work is fueled by an interest in the relation between place and fiction, space and temporality as it pertains to architecture. His sculptures, photography, and installations have been featured in the books Cream 3 (Phaidon, 2003), 100 Latin American Artists (Exit, 2007), and Megastructures Reloaded (Hatje Cantz, 2008), and been exhibited at PS1, New York; Kunst-Werke, Berlin; San Diego Museum of Art; Reina Sofia, Madrid; Prague Biennale; Camden Arts Centre, London; The Musee d'Art Moderne de Saint Etienne Metropole; Fundazione Brogovico 33, Lake Como; IVAM, Valencia, and more. Dávila has been the recipient of support from the Andy Warhol Foundation, Kunst-Werke residency in Berlin, and the National Grant for young artists by the Mexican Arts Council (FONCA) in 2000. He is the director and co-founder of OPA, an artist-run space, in Guadalajara, Mexico where he currently resides and works.
