1000 FULL COLOR PAGES OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE IN THE AMERICAS
Architect
Daniel Fuster describes Casa Delpin in San Juan, Puerto Rico as:
“Casa Delpin
is the product of the renovation and addition to an existing single-family structure
located on a small lot on the Miramar sector in San Juan, Puerto Rico.”
“The design objective was to create a spatially rich living experience and provide a great capacity for passive lighting and cooling, while also allowing mechanical cooling when needed.”
“The
perforated glass reinforced concrete (GRC) panels help to redefine and reorient
exterior public patios and interstitial spaces towards the interior.”
“This strategy
of absorbing the remnant exterior areas of the lot, allows the house to open-up,
while also providing greater privacy.”
Book review of 1000 x Architecture of the Americas

The book sells for $125.
