Photography & Modern Architecture in Spain 1925-1965
Edited by Iñaki Berguera. Text by Víctor Pérez Escudero, Alberto Martín.
From its inception, photography has been a key resource in the study of architecture, as architects perceived that the photographic representation of their work would become the iconic image of their artistry. Photography & Modern Architecture in Spain 1925-1965 looks at the history of architectural photography during Spanish architecture's modern period, which ranged from the avant-garde of the 1920s to the conclusion of the International Style. Alongside hundreds of photographs documenting the architectural environment of Spain during these decades, text by Iñaki Berguera unfolds the relationship between photographer and architect. Among the photographers included are Francesc Catala-Roca, Marin Chivite, Paco Gomez, Alejandro de la Sota, José Galle, Luis Lladó, Oriol Maspons, Nicolás Muller, Margaret Michaelis, Francisco Ruiz Tilve, Alberto Schommer, Julio Ubiña, José de Yarza García, Fernando Higueras, José Manuel Aizpúrua, Fernando García Mercadal and Josep Brangulí.

"In order to explain something, the photographer must know how to choose and take the photograph in the way that most clearly shows what he wants to communicate," Francesc Català-Roca wrote in a 1987 issue of Quaderns d'Arquitectura i Urbanisme, the respected Barcelona architecture magazine. "Afterwards, an order must be established and, above all, it shouldn't be aimed to say a lot but rather a little and well expressed." This quotation and the featured image, a 1960 photograph of a service station in Oliva, Valencia, by Juan Haro Piñar, are reproduced from Photography & Modern Architecture in Spain 1925-1965, the enlightening and beautifully produced new survey from La Fabrica/Museo ICO. continue to blog
