Gravedad y luz: eternas cuestiones de la arquitectura

There is not a single work of architecture in the world which,in its quest to build the space, has been able to evade theeffects of terrestrial gravity or has been able to do withoutthe effects of sunlight. This has been expressed in recentyears by the most important architects of our country. Butth...
