Alejandro de la Sota: An Architecture of Imperfection

By Alejandro de la Sota

This publication traces Alejandro de la Sota's influence on Spain's contemporary culture of architecture through essays and a visual presentation of his most significant projects, including the Maravillas Gymnasium in Madrid and the Civil Government building in Tarragona. His oeuvre is of impressive consistency, combining a naked abstraction with a rigorous interest in the character of materials. While Sota clearly drew many lessons from the modern masters - from Mies in particular - he also defined a language with an internal momentum of its own.
