Description and Table of Contents

Description

Alejandro de la Sota was born in 1913, and so belongs to the same generation as Jorn Utzon, Denys Lasdun, Aldo van Eyck and Jose Maria Coderch. However, it is only in recent years that his work has become known outside Spain. While de la Sota drew many lessons from the modern masters - from Mies van der Rohe in particular - he also managed to define a language of his own. This work traces the influence of de la Sota on Spain's contemporary culture of architecture, examining in detail a range of his projects, from single-family houses to the Civil Government building in Tarragona.
