Description
Lineage and Legacy: A Certain Modernism in Cadaqués explores the unique architecture of a small Spanish fishing village on the Costa Brava. Between the mid-1950s and 1960s, a group of architects created holiday homes that shared bonds of friendship and architectural affinities with the international Modern movement. This book delves into eight case studies, examining the common threads that link these projects. A photographic essay by David Grandorge and detailed architectural drawings on significant projects are also included. An interview with authors Stephen Bates and Fernando Villavecchia provides insight into their shared fascination with Cadaqués, while a timeline contextualizes the projects against the backdrop of historical events. Text is presented in both English and Spanish, with an inserted booklet featuring additional content in Spanish. The book offers a unique perspective on the history of architecture, shedding light on a lesser-known chapter in the development of Modernism.
