El público de la arquitectura brings together, for the first time in Spanish, two of the most important texts from Giancarlo De Carlo’s theoretical body of work. Published in the early seventies, they remain curiously relevant to the most pressing issues of today. In these texts, De Carlo analyzes architecture's complicity in materializing the social gaps imposed by economic, political, and cultural power structures, while questioning the role of schools, criticism, and the media in consolidating the inconsistency and aimlessness of the architect's position. The book proposes alternative paths for the methodological reconstruction of disciplinary creative processes, moving toward a total commitment to the real context of society and its most fundamental spatial needs.
