Fisac & De La Sota: Parallel Visions

A book accompanying the exhibition organized by the Museum ICO to mark the centenary of the birth of Miguel Fisac ¿¿and Alejandro de la Sota, two of the most important Spanish architects of the second half of the twentieth century. Drawings, models, photographs, furniture and objects in an extensive tour of the life and works of both masters of modern Spanish architecture. Two great artists who reinvented modern Spanish architecture, with important referential buildings for several generations of architects. They began their work claiming for the language of the Modernity against the historicist architecture of Franco regime, and ended their lives with very personal explorations. Both born in 1913, and Galician manchego one another, the two established their office in Madrid in the 1940s, at a time when the Franco regime dismissed the Modern Movement to impose an imperial classicism and return to localism and regionalism in Spanish architecture that everyone escaped in their own way.
