"For centuries, architecture has been one of the most publicly discussed subjects, by architects and users or inhabitants, but also by critics, theoreticians, historians, and writers. This book offers an overview of these discussions in the Western world, by means of four thematic trajectories, focused on housing, society, history, and art. Each of these four chronological paths starts in the 19th century, traverses the 20th century, and ends as closely as possible to the contemporary moment. The stepping stones are historical documents - texts, books, essays, and articles - that are analyzed, interpreted, criticized, and compared. The aim of this book is to show that architecture remains a vital subject matter for anyone interested in our contemporary world and its recent history. Reading, inquiring, and thinking are essential for making substantiated choices, with architecture as a starting point. The writings discussed in this book, both canonical and virtually unknown, are condensed into little pearls of knowledge, attached unto a string, and put together to form a kind of necklace - a talisman that can help us understand and face the present condition."

Chilean architect Smiljan Radic's career is one of the most unique in the contemporary architecture scene. Although he works mainly in Chile, his work has crossed borders after building the Serpentine Gallery pavilion (London, 2014). This 2G issue features a selection of the houses built by Radic in almost thirty years of his career, from the extension of the Charcoal Burner's House (Cupliprán, 1997-1998) or his Small House (Vilches, 1995 -1996) to his last Wooden House (Lake Colico, 2014-2015) and Prism House (Coinguillio, 2017-2018). In addition to the fourteen houses featured, a text by Enrique Walker explains the keys to understanding his domestic work from the Small House, and another by Moisés Puente talks about all the interventions that Radic has built in an estate in Vilches for him and his family. Two texts by the architect himself speak about the tradition of certain Chilean houses of his interest and about the role that repairing has in architecture, beyond the mere restoration or preservation

"Alejandro de la Sota (1913-1996) probably arouses more impassioned responses in Spain than any other modern Spanish architect. His work is the subject of pilgrimages by architects and students looking for a unique way of working, an encounter with an almost magical revelation. Although he is a very well-known modern master in Spain, his is quite unknown abroad. This 2G issue presents a selection of building and projects of this forgotten modern master, from his first works built after the Spanish Civil War, as Esquivel village, to his master pieces, like the Maravillas school sports hall and the Provincial Government Building in Tarragona, and his later, not so known works as the Post Office building in León or the unbuilt houses by the see in Mallorca. - éditeur"

Kersten Geers combines his work at OFFICE Kersten Geers David Van Severen architecture studio with his academic work and writing. In this compilation of essays, the author writes about diverse historical architects – from Bramante, Scamozzi and Mies van der Rohe to Aldo Rossi, James Stirling, Álvaro Siza or Robert Venturi – to compose a kind of theory of contemporary architecture in which he deals with issues such as language and form.
