Summary:

It is not easy to write about the Spanish architecture of recent years, because any reflection is quickly overshadowed by the situation that we all know: a very negative economic and employment environment, and a very degraded social factor. However, when analyzed further, one can detect new shafts of light, illuminating some hope. On the one hand, new opportunities are slowly beginning to take shape in the form of commissions or small-scale projects on the immense heritage already built; on the other hand, the devaluation of the role of the architect in society is very much affected by the presence of a few names that from their illustrious role, or from their lucrative anonymity, have distorted the image of the profession. Thus, though these are bad times for construction, for real estate, or for stardom, these times are still good for architecture. Translated from Spanish, original edition published in 2016.
