The impressive economic and infrastructural development that has taken place in Spain over the past two decades has shaped an optimum breeding ground for unprecedented architectural revolution, especially following the focal point which was the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games and the Universal Exhibition in Seville. The abundance of new projects - as many public buildings as urban landscape, as well as residential and commercial projects - has converted Spain into one of the most sought after places for both Spanish and foreign architects in the field of experimentation. The plethora of significant interventions has greatly helped alter the physiognomy of a country which in the last 20 years has grown as a democracy and has developed both socially and economically into one of the main European powers. This volume focuses on the work of 44 Spanish architectural studios and includes a wide spectrum of projects - from interior design to the construction of large public buildings located in Spain - which act as examples and references of current trends, interests and the merits of the studios involved. One of the most important criteria in the selection of these projects was variety, resulting from the convenience of offering as wide a vision as possible. This led to the inclusion of a variety of projects such as a large auditorium, the interior design of a shop, a dental clinic and a leisure harbour. The goal is to create a global vision of design in Spain today, featuring low budget projects, as well as recent large scale architectonic milestones. Consequently, the reviewed studios range from the most famous names in the architectural panorama to young unknown architects whose ideas deserve to be publicised - something in which this catalogue hopes to participate.
