This book, an anthology of José Manuel López-Peláez's finest writings, compiled with the perspective gained from a long career in teaching and criticism, focuses on the primary themes to which the author has dedicated his attention—particularly the Spanish masters of the second half of the 20th century with whom he was closely associated, such as Sota, Oíza, Fisac, or Coderch, as well as, of course, Erik Gunnar Asplund and Nordic architecture.
The selection of texts, curated by López-Peláez himself, offers a revealing intellectual biography, as the collection gathers reflections that precisely define his personal, cultured, and sensitive approach to viewing and understanding architecture.
