Radical Logic is a publication that explores the work of the award-winning architecture office Ensamble Studio led by Antón García-Abril and Débora Mesa. The book documents the first twenty years of the Boston- and Madrid-based office at a key moment in their career. After having designed and built a series of remarkable structures—including the Hemeroscopium House in Madrid, the SGAE Central Office in Santiago de Compostela, The Truffle in Costa da Morte, all in Spain; and Structures of Landscape for Tippet Rise Art Center in Montana, United States—their projects Ca'n Terra House in Menorca and the Ensamble Fabrica in Madrid mark the next phase of the office. Through specially commissioned interviews with the architects, essays, and photographic documentation of their work by photographer James Florio, the book provides unique insight into the ideas that drive the studio, the ambitions behind their key projects, and their ongoing explorations.

Ensamble Studio is a cross-functional team established in 2000 and led by architects Antón García-Abril and Débora Mesa. Balancing education, research, and practice, the office explores innovative approaches to architectural and urban spaces and the technologies that build them. Beside their professional career, both principals keep a very active research and academic agenda as directors of the Prototypes of Prefabrication Research Laboratory (POPlab) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) that they founded in 2012. Among many other awards, the studio is the recipient of the 2019 RIBA Charles Jencks Award.

James Florio is a photographer focused on the built environment and the life surrounding it. He works slowly whenever possible, often visiting a place or space more than once to gain a greater understanding and deliver a thoughtful interpretation. He is currently working on various long-term projects documenting the unique changes of nature, climate, and time on architecture and landscapes. Working both with digital and film, he prefers to shoot in medium or large format for its depth and deliberation. He travels worldwide for both personal projects and commissions and is based in Evergreen, Colorado. You can see more of his work in various publications and books, including National Geographic Traveler, Divisare, Domus, Aribitare, Architect Magazine, Architectural Record, Modern in Denver, Arquitexto, and others.
