a+t architecture publishers

Following years of research, a+t architecture publishers present the first theoretical-practical book on hybrid buildings. Taking its inspiration from the four issues of a+t magazine's Hybrid series, the book takes a look at the theories and projects which have had the greatest historical importance. Steven Holl prefaces the book with an introduction where he foresees the path which hybrid typologies should take towards the creation of new urban spaces.

The latest book of a+t architecture publishers, This is Hybrid, analyzes 22 recent, revised and updated projects.

The article Hybrids versus Social Condenser, included in the book This is Hybrid, presents a selection of mixed-use buildings built between 1945 and 1975.

The history of hybrid buildings has left us an important number of projects which were never realised, but which have made a great contribution in terms of theory to the present conception of this building typology. Some of them are covered in Javier Mozas' article This is Hybrid, which lends its name to the book by a+t architecture publishers:

"The hybrid building is a specimen of opportunity which has the mixed-use gene in its gene code. It turns against the combination of the usual programs and bases its whole raison d'etre on the unexpected mixing of functions. The hybrid is the consequence of a rant against tradition,  giving  typology the one finger salute..."
