Synopsis:

This book brings together the most recent buildings and projects by the Mexican architect Alberto Kalach, special emphasis being placed on the first steps of the process of each of these. As if it were a sort of log or sketch pad, the book sets out to highlight the essence of his ideas and the immediacy of his first few pencil strokes. Structured typologically, the tour through Kalach's work takes in single-family houses, apartment buildings, various designs for tower blocks and his famous project for the lake city (awarded a prize at the 2002 Venice Biennale), in which he proposes rehydrating the dried up aquiferous areas of Mexico City.
