Mies Missing Materiality

Anna & Eugeni Bach

The object exudes absence, whiteness and a vinyl texture, elements that are present in the spatial intervention, with a subtle irregularity that can also be discovered in the layout of the inner pages. The volume is illustrated with photographs by Adrià Goula.
