From Modernism to the 21st Century
This volume, devoted to the Galician architects who were born between the 1930s and 1950s offers a view of the protagonists of the Galician architecture of the three last decades of the 20th century. This heterogeneous group has in common their commitment to Galicia. All of them, with different educations, intellectual attitudes and architectural beliefs, work in the same cultural, social and economic context and have reacted through architecture to all this state of things.
On these pages, the works of these thirteen architects show some common elements, complementary explorations, similar positions and, what is more important, identical features.
The modern legacy as a reference, whether they accept it or reject it, the relationship with the place as the most important element, the value of the material the volumetric force and a certain sense of mass and weight can be understood as a group of features that lead to a family, although the members are so different.
