’Erotica techno in Valencian architecture’ includes two short essays by Débora Domingo and Mario Montesinos, doctors in architecture and experts on the subject, together with a photographic essay by the architect Ricardo Ruíz, thus presenting a route through all those architectural (and sound) landscapes, where the rhythmic and repetitive structures of the concrete, with its light and shade, carry us to the sound structure of a techno song.
Designed by Daniel Escobedo, the publication represents a true architectural catalogue of Valencian buildings and constructions formed by black and white photographs, dark and with no human presence.
As Daniel Escobedo and Ricardo Ruíz explain, “We wanted architecture to play the leading role in this project, an architecture full of rhythms and material nudity, with a very brutal formal component, with no superfluous elements, that causes us to fantasize in our interior world. We sought to create an analogy between the mathematical composition of the architecture and techno music: with its marked rhythms and the same formal power.”
