AV Monographs 253-254 - Spain 2023

An overview of the best architecture in Spain that takes stock of architectural issues and trends in the field, placing them in the context of cultural, political, and economic events. The selection of 24 works reflects commitments to sustainability, materialised in buildings which use resources more efficiently. This includes refurbishments like Ombu for Acciona by Foster + Partners in Madrid and Palace-House by Tunon & Albornoz in Caceres. Nieto Sobejano and Alcolea, Ercilla, and Tarrago promote sustainability through courtyards and building orientation in university buildings, while other projects rely on low-impact, recyclable, or locally sourced materials like wood or ceramic.
