Vázquez Consuegra
Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra?s architecture is intense, precise and detached. It is the architecture of a great master. His deep roots in Andalusian life and culture are certainly the explanation for his enormous creative freedom.
GVC. Guillermo Vazquez Consuegra
I suoi edifici hanno una qualche connessione al mare, ai porti, alla partenza. Anche quando sono ubicati nelle assolate città spagnole dell’entroterra come Madrid, Toledo o Ciudad Real [...] Forse perché i suoi edifici sembrano pensare e contemplare l’orizzonte che li circonda. Edifici viventi attraverso i quali scorre il vento e dove il vuoto è dispositivo compositivo fondamentale, nucleo in cui pulsano tutte le tensioni del corpo architettonico. Edifici che si radicano come ancore ai luoghi e li interpretano.[...] Il Centro Culturale Caixaforum di Siviglia rappresenta un’ulteriore prova della sapienza con cui Vázquez Consuegra infonde un carattere pubblico all’architettura attraverso il vuoto come principale dispositivo compositivo. Il riutilizzo di una porzione di edificio incompiuto parzialmente ipogeo, costituisce l’occasione per risarcire la città della pesante eredità lasciata dalla costruzione di grandi padiglioni e recinti chiusi per l’Expo del 1992.

Spain
An investigation of the influences and evolution of modern Spain’s underappreciated, but foundational, architecture. Spain’s remarkable twentieth-century architecture evolved against a turbulent background of revolution, civil war, dictatorship, and transition to democracy. Architecture played a key role in Spain’s struggle out of poverty and isolation, and its search for identity in the modern world. This book examines Spanish architecture from the roots of Modernism in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to the present, analyzing significant figures and their works in relation to their political, social, and cultural contexts, as well as their contributions to architecture as a whole. From the austere, local Modernism of the 1920s, the influence of international trends in the ’30s, the renewed, “Organicist” Modernism of the ’50s and ’60s, to the flourishing public architecture of the late twentieth century and beyond, Spain provides a penetrating account of the country’s rich and varied built environment.
The Hidden Side of the Creative City
This book analyses issues related to the political use and economical misappropriation of urban cultural events, cultural infrastructures, public resources, and cultural traditions in the city of Valencia, Spain. It deals critically with a variety of sociological questions related to cultural production in the city, including geographical segregation as culturally defined in the city; misogyny and the peripheral role of women in traditional cultural events, xenophobia; and nationalism/regionalism. As such, the book will be useful to students and scholars of sociology of the arts, cultural policy, and museum management, and urban sociology.
