Alejandro de la Sota is one of the great masters of modern Spanish architecture, the author of such notable buildings as the Civil Government (Tarragona, 1957–1964) and the Maravillas School gymnasium (Madrid, 1960–1962).

This book compiles various essays, originally published in different media, in which the Galician architect reflects on the legacy of the Modern Movement and its atypical integration into the cultural landscape of Franco-era Spain. Simultaneously, it serves as a chronicle of the challenges faced by Spanish architecture from the 1950s until the architect’s death in 1996.

CLEA Magazine is an annual publication that seeks to promote and disseminate the analysis of the diverse social and spatial realities throughout Latin America.

In this notable attempt to define the meaning and idea of architecture, José Ricardo Morales proposes the noun Arquitectónica. Starting from a critical analysis of the prevailing trends in 19th-century art history and a precise dismantling of early 20th-century architectural theories—form, function, and space—Morales clears the ground to propose his own theory of architecture.

The book’s title is a provocation—an invitation to rethink landscape not as a given, but as something constructed through history, design, art, technique, representation, and experience, among other lenses.

Arquitecturas de la estrategia examines the marketing techniques that architects use to secure commissions, sell projects, and build works.

In a territory historically marked by earthquakes, ruptures, and borders, architecture has manifested itself through diverse expressions over time. These expressions are nuanced by sociocultural processes that have defined the approaches and stances translated into urban imagery and architectural production.

The new Archstorming competition takes us to Senegal, Africa. In some regions of the country, only 50% of school-age children have access to education, and classrooms are often overcrowded with up to 80 students due to a lack of infrastructure.

It is said—perhaps closer to myth than reality—that when Mies van der Rohe interviewed a candidate to join his studio, he would subject them to a peculiar test. He would lead them to a drafting table, provide them with the necessary instruments—rulers, compasses, squares, triangles, pencils, erasers, and so on—and ask them to arrange these elements within the confined field of the drawing board.

Beyond the romantic content often ascribed to its political-social aspect, resistance is an ambivalent condition. Because it depends on an external entity, it is not an autonomous condition; that is, it only appears in relation to an outside. It does not exist without something to resist. It is an opposition to forces that, as such, implies taking a stance from which that opposition is exercised. Thus, there can be resistance to aspects as disparate as the status quo or change.
