344 p. : ill. ; plans ; maps ; 22 cm. Spain's remarkable 20th-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.0This new account examines Spanish architecture from the roots of Modernism in the 18th and 19th centuries to the present, analysing 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 to the influence of international trends, 'Organicist' Modernism and 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. 7 Note on Translation -- 9 One : The Short History, 1750- 1925 -- 41 Two : The First Modernists, 1910 - 25 -- 63 Three : The Generation of 1925- in Madrid, 1925 - 36 -- 89 Four : The Provinces and Barcelona: Stylists versus Revolutionaries, 1929 - 39 -- 121 Five : Modernism Expunged: The Civil War and Its Aftermath, 1936 – 50 -- 147 Six : The Return to Modernism, 1949 - 690 -- 181 Seven : The Organicist Eden, 1960 - 75 -- 219 Eight : Building Democracy, 1975 - 92 -- 271 Nine : Over the Top, 1992 - 2015 -- 312 Epilogue -- 315 References -- 327 Select Bibliography -- 331 Acknowledgements -- 333 Photo Acknowledgements -- 335 Index -- David Cohn.
