A selection of texts and images from the PopUp! Conference lectures that explores the possibilities of architecture- environment.

The series started by this book intends to recover and document some modern Spanish buildings that, regardless their unquestionable value, did not have enough good critic and dissemination in their day.

With a great graphic display, the nine texts in the book cover half a century of modern architecture in a circular trip, starting and finishing in Barcelona, with Gaudí and the Mies van der Rohe pavilion, about the problem of ornamentation in architecture.

This book recovers Félix Candela's work. He was the builder and master of the "reinforced concrete shell structures", which constitute a revered chapter in the Construction History of the XX century: the strong shape, its geometry, its calculation systems and building processes.

This book is the culmination of an educational project, winner of the UEM Teaching Innovation Award in 2007, which compiles drawings and photographs created by students during their trip. It is divided into chapters including texts written by professors, which deal with the diverse aspects of Ancient Egypt and its artistic wealth.
