MESÆSTÁNDAR
Architecture Archipielago (Plan:b Arquitectos, Célula Arquitectos, Capa. Yemall Arquitectura, Viviana Peña Taller de Arquitectura. Mesaesténdar) is both a collective of architects and designers and the name of the collection of books published by Mesaestandar that express its most intimate vision of architecture. When we talk about architecture it seems that we mean directly the buildings, fixed and finished objects that can only be chosen. But architecture is far from just that because its existence and physiognomy depend on hidden flows that are both ancestral and natural as well as cultural. Architecture is an emerging quality of our constructions, it only appears if it is summoned. This book tries to show in a simple and colorful way such a paradox, by presenting houses and buildings - made in the tropics - that reveal to us a primary meaning. You will see how each drawing expresses this condition and you will recognize values of the architecture that you can implement. Authors include: Catalina Patiño, Viviana Peña, María Paula Vallejo, Edgar Mazo, Sebastián Mejía, Felipe Mesa, Federico Mesa, Antonio Yemail, Emerson Marín, Ricardo Vásquez, Juan Pablo Martínez, Miguel Mesa, Juan David Díez.
