“Luis De Garrido. The Architect of Architecture”

Suzanne Holt Ballard, PhD. Architect and professor of architecture at the University of Ohio (USA) declares that Luis De Garrido is «The Architect of Architecture», because he has been able to model a New Paradigm in Architecture, based on a deep respect and understanding of nature, and fully integrated with the ecological ecosystem.

In this regard, Luis de Garrido has been both a visionary and a pioneer, since long before others, he had come to build a «living architecture», Luis de Garrido had created architectural prototypes with an infinite life cycle, able to be renewed, repaired and regenerated like living organisms. An architecture with no emissions, with zero-energy consumption, and self sufficient in water, energy and food.

To illustrate some of the basic concepts of the New Architectural Paradigm proposed by Luis De Garrido, this book discusses in detail some of his more suggestive and advanced projects.
