Movimiento moderno contextualizado. Sobre su contribución a la arquitectura contemporánea española

The modern movement helped architecture break free from the historical academicisms in which it had been mired. But first, it was necessary to let go of the past before looking toward the future. That said, after the initial years of an innovative boom, a revised, adapted language began to emerge in response to the desire to reclaim heritage, roots, tradition, and history. This work is understood from that perspective, in which the resulting projects were contextualized to take into account pre-existing environmental factors.In that sense, from the opposite perspective – looking towards the past from the present – it is worth highlighting a series of works from the contemporary Spanish architectural landscape that have espoused the principles of this contextualized modern movement, demonstrating its ongoing relevance.Through a contemporary reinterpretation of vernacular architectural design strategies, the constant technological evolution inherent in progress, and the demands for energy efficiency to address the new challenges of the climate emergency, the result is optimized and demonstrates the strength of contemporary Spanish architecture, an heir to the modern movement.
