18 Apr 2012 Mansilla & Tuñón - Book Luis M. Mansilla + Emilio Tuñón - From Rules to Constraints Edited by Giancarlo Valle With contributions by Stan Allen, Enrique Walker, Sarah Whiting and Augustin Perez Rubio, photographs by Dean Kaufmann, Luis Asín, and Luis Baylón From 2008 to 2010, Madrid based architects Luis M. Mansilla and Emilio Tuñón held the Jean Labatut Visiting Professorship at the Princeton School of Architecture. More than a collection of student work, From Rules to Constraints is a wide ranging reflection on teaching, design practice, history and the city. Focusing on three sites at three distinct scales, this book examines the constraints of the architectural project-social, political, historical, and environmental-in order to create new rules for working. Examining both their teaching methods and Mansilla + Tuñón's own design work, the book presents the design process as an ongoing conversation between the building and the environment, between freedom and limits, and between the decided and undecided. In February of this year, as this book was nearing completion, Luis M. Mansilla passed away, making this one of the last records of his work and ideas.

Mansilla & Tuñón - Major Buildings Madrid International Convention Centre - CICCM Competition, Madrid, Spain 2007 Architects: Mansilla + Tuñón Arquitectos + Peralta, Arquitectos image from mansilla & tuñón arquitectos Madrid Convention Centre Due to its specific conditions, the site for the competition claims an optimistic intervention able to qualify the surrounding public spaces and buildings with a representative -civic- condition, strong enough not to be overwhelmed by the presence of the four high-rise towers. The Musac Building, Leon, Spain 2005 Architect: Mansilla + Tuñón Arquitectos photo from mansilla & tuñón arquitectos MUSAC Building Leon Mansilla & Tuñón : European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture Mies van der Rohe Award 2007 On a vast urban plan, MUSAC draws the scenario for art with the same optimistic attitude used by the Roman surveyors to sketch their cities in the landscape. In contrast to other types of spaces which, in their museum facet, focus on the exhibition of frozen historic collections, MUSAC is a living space that opens its doors to the wide-ranging manifestations of contemporary art. This is an art centre that constructs a set of chessboards on which the action is the protagonist of the space; a structure that develops from an open system, formed by fabric of squares and rhombi, and permitting the construction of a secret geography of memory.
