The Fundación Arquitectura y Sociedad has published a first-class testimony of the ‘Architecture: More for Less’ International Congress.

In 15 exclusive interviews with the speakers, the writers invited to be congress relators present a new view of architecture in times of crisis, when it is called upon to face formidable ecological and economic challenges. Neither a mere summary of the congress nor simply a formulation of conclusions, the publication endeavors to broaden the end-balance of the event through an unprecedented dialog between critics and participants.

Extensively illustrated, the book is bilingual and will be sold in bookstores in Spain and abroad at 15€. This edition has been put together by the team of the magazine Arquitectura Viva.
