A.MAG 12: Barozzi Veiga maps the Barcelona-based practice across built works, ongoing projects, competitions, and installations — tracing a body of work defined by material specificity and a commitment to public architecture at an international scale.
About This Book
This issue of A.MAG is dedicated to Fabrizio Barozzi and Alberto Veiga, whose practice has established a distinctive position in European architecture since 2004. Their work is predominantly civic — concert halls, museums, cultural institutions — and it is characterised by a sensitivity to place that resists both regionalism and empty spectacle. The Mies van der Rohe Award, received in 2015, brought international recognition to an approach that had already proven itself across multiple built works. This monographic issue presents a comprehensive survey of the practice: completed buildings, works in progress, recent competitions, and installations, making it an authoritative reference for those tracking contemporary European public architecture.
