Making of
“Casa de Serralves”

The Casa de Serralves is a celebrated modernist icon. Designed between Porto and Paris (1925-43), in the superimposed work of five architects, the villa is revealed through large scale photographs by João Carmo Simões and edited drawings. This referential work brings together avant-garde and traditional desires – an ambiguity that forged generations of architects.

ELECTRA 26!
Dossier: The new!

'The New' in history, art, science, philosophy, politics and, in the form of 'novelty', as a distinctive mark of our time, is the theme of the Electra 26 dossier, which brings together texts by Boris Groys, interviewed by Catarina Pombo Nabais, François Hartog, Iwan Rhys Morus, Lionel Ruffel and Nuno Nabais. Also highlighted are the portfolio and conversation with the Italian artist, writer and collector Isabella Ducrot and the interview, 'In the First Person', with the geologist and paleontologist Jan Zalasiewicz who talks about the 'Anthropocene', a new geological era of Earth. Also in this edition, Pedro Magalhães and Damiano Palano reflect on the transformation in political parties and novelist and essayist Daniel Saldaña París writes about New York.

ELECTRA 25!
Dossier: Lies

‘We have never lied as much as today. Nor have we ever done it so blatantly, systematically and constantly.’ These words were written by Russian-born French philosopher Alexandre Koyré during the Second World War, a statement that takes on a new and unexpected relevance in our time. The history of humanity is inseparable from the history of lies, recording its forms and metamorphoses through the centuries and according to the paradigms of each era and its social, economic, cultural and religious practices. On ‘Lies’ we find texts by Martin Jay, Bárbara Reis, Daisy Dixon, Myriam Revault d’Allonnes, Peter Hill, and António Bracinha Vieira.

Simon Critchley, one of the most prolific and popular philosophers of recent decades, speaks to Electra about some of the themes that have guided his work, from the place of philosophy in contemporary society to the disillusionment with liberal democracy, from the cultural importance of football to the challenge of autobiographical writing.

ELECTRA 24 is OUT!
Dossier: Excess

A law of excess rules the contemporary world in every domain. The products of consumer society, the financial logic, wealth and poverty, the phenomena of social and political life, the growth of cities, the circulation of people and goods, rubbish and waste: everything has abandoned its due measure and has been growing and proliferating unchecked. With essays by Gianluca Cuozzo, Christian Salmon, Maddalena Mazzocut-Mis, McKenzie Wark, Paul Morland and Laurent de Sutter.

In this edition, the renowned Italian literary critic Alfonso Berardinelli writes about Italo Calvino, the great writer who took narrative, the short story and short forms to a supreme level of literary construction, and Michael Hardt, one of the most distinguished political theorists of our time, speaks to Electra about love and revolution, language and liberation, activism and prison, and his new project on the urgent need to take another look at the revolutionary movements of the 1970s.

The only book by Álvaro Siza on his own work:
“Imagining the Evident”

with Postscripts by Vittorio Gregotti and Daniela Sá

_

The referential book by Álvaro Siza on his own work for the first time in English. Describing some of his projects, his expectations and struggles, references and decisions, this book is a fundamental contribution to the understanding of Álvaro Siza’s architectural thinking. The text is accompanied by an extensive set of drawings from his notebooks, an obstinate presence in Siza’s particular way of working, some of which never published before.

A personal and fundamental testimony of one of the most celebrated living architects, covering the full range of design – from architecture to city planning, furniture and objects – in a must-read book for all interested in Art and Architecture.
