`There`s not a great deal of difference between living and working for those of us who one day decide to make a living by creating the world, for those of us who perceive architecture as something more than just work and the negative aspect associated with this word, but rather like a window through which to see the world. And a means of transforming this world`. This is the vision of Octavio Mestre and this is the book that celebrates that maxim. Over 240-pages and more than 180 full-colour photographs, plans and drawings, reveal the stunning contemporary work of this much-admired practitioner.
