"As the definitive critical study of postwar Spanish architecture in English, The Modern in Spain looks at the works, projects, trends, landmarks, architects, and engineers of the period. It is both a descriptive history and a new critical evaluation by one of Spain's most important architectural critics and historians.

The advances made by modern Spanish architecture from the 1940s, when it lay in silence and obscurity, to the 1990s, when it received worldwide acclaim, make a dramatic story, probably the most remarkable case of postwar architectural progress in Europe."--BOOK JACKET.
