The Metapolis Dictionary of Advanced Architecture
Manuel Gausa, Vicente Guallart, Willy Müller, Federico Soriano,
José Morales, Fernando Porras
ISBN: 84-95951-22-3


This subsequent English edition of “Metapolis” is a extended version of the original Spanish edition, and continues to seek and identify a new architectural will within the contemporary social and cultural panorama. Metapolis aspires to contribute to the formation of a global, albeit non-absolute, vision of the emerging new architectural action, one that participates in “advanced culture” and is present in various art disciplines, thought and technology. The book speaks of an architecture inscribed in the information society and influenced by the new technologies, the new economy, environment concerns and individual interests. From the onset of the project, the diversity of the authors and works was considered invaluable for the generation of intersections discourse and theory among the many collaborators.
