Reflections on ceramics as a material have once again been published in book form in this fourth volume of the collection of essays coordinated by the Cátedra Cerámica Madrid. On this occasion, the architects have written texts about ceramics based on its use in their own architecture, a different use that reflects the distinct way each one thinks about architectural space.
Beatriz Matos Castaño and Alberto Martínez Castillo, authors of the essay «Ceramics and the Modern Masters, 5+1», in which they discuss the use of ceramics in modern and contemporary times. Sou Fujimoto, for his part, talks in his interview about the evolution of the design process in his studio as well as about ceramics in his work, a material he considers excellent in terms of durability, color and insulation. He also highlights the material’s ability to structure spaces and confesses his fascination with the Alhambra in Granada, a building in which the limits of space are blurred through ceramics.
Finally, Antonio Jiménez Torrecillas contributes the essay, «Never say never again». In it, he develops her thoughts about his relationship with ceramics throughout his career as an architect.
