Apartamento Publishing S.L.v Miguel Milá: A Life in Design
Book SynopsisMiguel Milá is considered one of Spain's first and most influential industrial designers. Starting out as an interior designer amid the country's early modernist movement, Milá began making the objects he needed but couldn't yet find on the market. He took raw and renewable materials and crafted prototypes by hand, occasionally evolving designs to perfect his now-iconic lighting and furniture. Miguel Milá: A Life in Design is a detailed look back through his most emblematic works, produced between 1956 and 2021, with archival photos and drawings, as well as original photos shot at Milá's Barcelona home by Nacho Alegre. Introducing the book is seminal English designer Jasper Morrison, while the products are catalogued and described by design academic Francisco Gaspar Quevedo, who also contributed a biographical text on Miguel's life, career, and the principles that sprang from both.

Instituto Monsa de Ediciones A-Frame: New Concept
Book SynopsisA-Frame constructions emerged in the mid-20th century and have been forgotten for decades. In recent years we are seeing how the spirit of A-Frame style houses is gradually being revived by avant-garde architects who have adapted this approach to more modern times. It is not uncommon nowadays to find examples of modern houses with A-Frame architecture as a hallmark in leading design magazines. The book includes: . A-Frame renovations . Mountaineer's refuge . Lake house . House at the Pyrenees AND SO MUCH MORE! This type of construction stands out for its structural simplicity, which in most cases reduces costs, and for its great capacity for thermal and acoustic insulation, greater speed of construction, elimination of the need for columns, greater strength and structural consistency, among many other benefits. A-Frame homes have a better environmental impact due to energy savings in both construction and utility costs, not to mention a smaller carbon footprint for the environment. Perfect for architectural enthusiasts, those looking to improve their sustainability and anyone looking to renovate their property! AUTHOR: Anna Minguet is a creative based in Barcelona.
