Available for Pre-order. This item will be released in Spring 2027. Text & Drawings Jose Gelabert-Navia Foreword Pico Iyer Croquis, The Architecture of the Mediterranean is a box-set compilation that spans a lifetime of architectural travels and art around the storied sea. In addition to working as a practicing architect at Perkins + Will Miami and teaching at the School of Architecture at the University of Miami, José Gelabert-Navia is an inveterate wanderer who invariably takes his sketchbook with him wherever he goes. The result is a treasure-trove of architectural drawings and documentation in which Gelabert-Navia has employed his artistic talent, contemporary experience and academic expertise to produce enchanting images of buildings, cities and countries that, in addition to capturing an architectural moment or movement, also express the soul of the place being documented. This gorgeous collection features six lavishly produced volumes, five of which focus on a specific area of the Mediterranean, demonstrating how the right gaze can both interpret and preserve the architectural riches of humanity for posterity. The sixth features an autobiography of the artist.
