Descripción
Sumario:The purpose of this paper is to analyze a trend of public architecture built between 1930 and 1945, which played a prominent role in the modernization of the city, incorporating programmatic, technical and aesthetic innovations. At the same time, these buildings were part of a cultural reflexion about the role of architecture as a public art. The study of the works through the specialized magazines will allow us to understand the terms in which this trend contributed to the wider process of renewal of the discipline, and also to identify the specificities that the public dimension introduced in the architectural and artistic debate.
