The project of inhabiting
The book addresses how architects of the 1910s and 1920s redefined housing from innovative perspectives, adapting modern principles to a unique cultural and social context. Figures such as Alejandro de la Sota, Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oíza and Antoni Bonet Castellana, among others, star in an analysis that combines history, design and sustainability. Each chapter highlights how their works not only responded to functional needs, but also considered emotional and cultural aspects to enrich the experience of the inhabitants.
Divided into four thematic blocks, moderated by scholars such as Magda Mària and Carles Muro, the book explores everything from the interaction between interior and exterior spaces to the role of materials in creating livable environments. The twelve papers included offer a rich and multidisciplinary reading of iconic works, such as Sáenz de Oíza's Torres Blancas and Antoni Bonet's Casa Castanera.
