Lineage and Legacy.
A certain Modernism in Cadaqués
herausgegeben von Stephen Bates und Fernando VillavecchiaDieses Buch untersucht eine besondere Art der Architektur, die in den 1950er-Jahren in dem spanischen Fischerdorf an der Costa Brava Cadaqués ihre Blütezeit erlebte: eine Reihe von acht Ferienhäusern, erbaut zwischen der Mitte der 1950er- und den 1960er-Jahren. Sie entstammen allesamt der Feder einer Gruppe befreundeter Architekten mit ähnlichen architektonischen Affinitäten und Verbindungen zur internationalen Moderne (u. a. José Antonio Coderch, Lluís Clotet, Federico Correa, Alfonso Milá, Oscar Tusquets, Manuel Valls). Betrachtet werden die Gemeinsamkeiten dieser acht Fallbeispiele – ergänzt um einen fotografischen Essay von David Grandorge und detaillierte Pläne weiterer bedeutender Projekte jener Zeit. Ein Interview mit den Autoren Stephen Bates (Sergison Bates architects, London) und Fernando Villavecchia (Liebman Villavecchia Arquitectos, Barcelona) beleuchtet die Hintergründe ihrer Faszination von Cadaqués und weiterer Projekte vor dem Hintergrund historischer Ereignisse und Meilensteine im Leben der Bauherren und Architekten. Sie haben das Dorf zu einem einzigartigen Ort in der Architekturgeschichte gemacht und es in einem zeitlichen Kontext verortet.
This book investigates a particular kind of architecture that thrived in the 1950s in Cadaqués, a small Spanish fishing village on the Costa Brava. It explores a number of holiday houses built between the mid-1950s and 1960s by a group of architects who shared bonds of friendship and architectural affinities, as well as connections with the international Modern movement (including José Antonio Coderch, Lluís Clotet, Federico Correa, Alfonso Milá, Oscar Tusquets, Manuel Valls). Observations on the common threads that link eight case studies are enriched by a photographic essay by David Grandorge and by detailed architectural drawings on a number of significant projects of the time. An interview with the authors Stephen Bates (Sergison Bates architects, London) and Fernando Villavecchia (Liebman Villavecchia Arquitectos, Barcelona) provides a background to their shared fascination with Cadaqués. A timeline contextualises the projects against the backdrop of historical events and the milestone in the lives of the clients and architects who made the village a unique locus in the history of architecture.
