Housing. Fifty Works

Arquitectura Viva gathers in one volume of 320 pages, with a special price of 60 euros, hardbound and in fully bilingual Spanish-English edition, 50 housing projects built in Spain since the year 2000. Always at the center of the architectural debate, the residential project has experienced a significant transformation over the past two decades, in response to very different scenarios – from the real estate boom to the financial crisis – and to new challenges, such as the need to improve the quality of domestic spaces which arose during the lockdown imposed by the pandemic, or that of adopting more sustainable approaches to face climate change. This choral itinerary that shows the current moment of the profession, takes stock of the challenges of residential architecture today, and offers a faithful portrait of the economic and social evolution of our country in the first years of the 21st century.
