Milano: Skira, Date: 2005. Essay by Peter Buchanan. Photography by Michele Alassio. With CD-ROM. English and Spanish Text. Milano, 2005; bound, pp. 180, col. ill., cm 30,5x30,5. (Architettura. Monografie). Un volume interamente dedicato alla leggendaria Casa de Retiro Espiritual, catalogo dell'esposizione al MoMA del progetto di Ambasz, vincitore dei premi più prestigiosi. Idea minimalista per alcuni e favola del decostruttivismo per altri, la Casa de Retiro Espiritual di Emilio Ambasz in Spagna è invece un'indefinibile testimonianza sui fondamenti dell'architettura. È una seconda casa nei pressi di Siviglia, che reinterpreta in modo personale la casa andalusa tradizionale, con un patio sul quale si affacciano tutte le stanze e nel quale la terra serve anche per isolare dal calore dei raggi solari. La casa, il cui progetto risale al 1975, è un'anticipazione dell'avveniristica opera di Ambasz volta a stabilire un'alleanza tra architettura e natura. 2005. Skira ISBN 8876243364 9788876243363 [IT]

ISBN10: 8876243364, ISBN13: 9788876243363, [publisher: Skira - Berenice, Milan] Hardcover Hardcover. Dedicated entirely to the legendary Casa de Retiro Espiritual, this book accompanies the MoMA exhibition of Ambasz's award-winning project. Considered a minimalist idea for some and a deconstructionist fable for others, Emilio Ambasz's Casa de Retiro Espiritual in Spain is instead an unclassifiable statement about architectural essentials. Situated close to Seville, this vacation home reinterprets in a non-vernacular manner the prototype of the Andalusian house, with a central patio which all the rooms look out on, where the earth is also used as an insulation system against the heat of the sun. Seen from afar, the house disappears like an optical mirage, leaving a view on the horizon of only the two empty backdrops arranged at right angles resembling an open book. Designed in 1975, the house has won innumerable architectural awards including the Progressive Architecture First Award and an AIA award. It foretold of Ambasz's pioneering work seeking to reconcile architecture with nature. Faithful to his conviction that "a building should return to the community in the form of garden, accessible to the community, all the land the building has covered," Ambasz's "green buildings," integrating garden and building into one inseparable entity, have been the precursors of a whole movement towards an energy efficient architecture.
