The Modern Architecture of Cadaqus 1955-71" by Nacho Alegre Book

By Nacho Alegre, with an introduction by Oscar Tusquets and an afterword by Marc Arnal. Inspired by the early style of Corbusier and ideas on Mediterranean architecture espoused by the likes of Bernard Rudofsky and Josep Llus Sert, a younger generation of architects found the perfect conditions to explore the future of the Mediterranean house in Cadaqusa small fishing village on the Spanish Costa Brava that was also home, or the summer meeting ground, for some of the past centurys greatest artistic figures, including Dal, Picasso, Mir, and Duchamp. In this book, photos from the period show the distinctive style and environment of Cadaqus and 22 homes designed by Federico Correa, Alfonso Mil, Jos Antonio Coderch, Francesc Joan Barba Corsini, Peter Harnden, Lanfranco Bombelli, Oscar Tusquets, and Llus Clotet. Written and edited by Nacho Alegre, with an introduction by Oscar Tusquets and an afterword by Marc Arnal, it also tells of the friendships and influences that existed between this group of architects, and how their architecture came to be.
