Unbuilt
Text by Ana Elena Mallet, Juan Herreros, Miquel Adrià, Pedro Gadanho, Steven Holl, Giovana Jaspersen.
In praise of what could have been: 15 unbuilt projects from the Mies van der Rohe Award–winning firm
Founded in 1986 in Mexico City by Enrique Norten, TEN Arquitectos subsequently opened offices in New York and Miami and built its reputation as one of North America's leading firms. TEN Arquitectos is known for its broad range of projects, including cultural institutions, residential buildings and mixed-use developments, and has won recognitions such as the Mies van der Rohe Award and the AIA International Design Award. Ideas in Transit compiles 15 unbuilt projects from TEN Arquitectos, selected by Enrique Norten in collaboration with Pedro Gadanho, curator of the accompanying exhibition held at the Museo Franz Mayer in Mexico City. Including hand-drawn diagrams and sketches as well as an extended flap with a timeline of the unbuilt works, the book pays homage to the firm's creative potency when liberated from concessions made to clients, financial constraints, time pressures or worksite complications.
