Arquitectura Viva 267 - Garcia de Paredes / La-Hoz

The year 2024 is the birth centenary of Jose Maria Garcia de Paredes and Rafael de La-Hoz, two architects who, before embarking on their solid individual careers, took their first steps in the profession together. To commemorate both centennials, Arquitectura Viva has gathered the fruits of that fleeting but intense shared experience of the 1950s: the Chamber of Commerce of Cordoba and the Aquinas Student Dormitory in Madrid, two examples of Spain's then incipient modernity, illustrated with material from family archives and enriched with biographical sketches by Kenneth Frampton and Luis Fernandez-Galiano.
