VIth International Congress. The History of Modern Spanish Architecture (Pamplona, Spain, from 2008-03-13 10:00 to 2008-03-14 21:00) — by jtarrago

'Crossed Glances' Exchanges between Latin America and Spain in the Spanish Architecture of the XXth Century The Congresses 'The History of Modern Spanish Architecture' are part of a field of research around the discipline in Spain, and fullfill several studies -publications, doctorals dissertations, etc.- drived from the School of Architecture of the University of Navarre. The historical analysis more than a chance for a mere erudition play, is an opportunity to strengthen a contemporary view of architecture. This is the main objective of this enterprise. Therefore, from 1998, this biannual event has studied different topics such as, 'From Rome to New York: Itineraries of the New Spanish Architecture, 1950-1965', 'The fifties, the Spanish Architecture and its historical commitment', 'Architecture, City and Antiurban Ideology', 'German and Italian Models for Spain in the Postwar Years', and 'North American Architecture, a Driving Force and Mirror of Spanish Architecture at the Beginning of Modernity (1940-1965)'. The call for this upcoming congress is entitled 'Crossed Glances: exchanges between Latin America and Spain in the Spanish Architecture of the XXth Century' and adresses the influences of Latin American Architecture in the Spanish discipline around the first decades of the century. An influence favoured by the propaganda opposing Franco's regime and the cultural contribution of the exiles´ work, among other things.

CFP: RA, Revista de Arquitectura by jtarrago — last modified 2008-11-10 14:06

Ra, Revista de Arquitectura, is yearly published by the School of Architecture of the University of Navarre. Ra is a forum suitable for the results of the study and the academic debate regarding to the diverse dimensions of the interest in architecture and the city: understanding them to be cultural realities of unarguable importance and impact and as objects of careful attention, study and investigation. It aims to serve, specifically, the intellectual production of Theory and History, Urban Planning and Architectural Projects departments, although it is initially open to articles and collaboration from other professional and teaching institutions. It also seeks to feed the perception of architecture that allows one not to lose sight of its dimension as a cultural discipline, in the broadest sense of the word, imposing as its only limitation, that of descending to the publication of projects that are currently being done in the area of design and building work, which are more suitable for other publications and more than covered in our surroundings by so many other magazines of proven experience and reliability.

RA is a forum for results of the academic debate regarding to diverse dimensions of architecture and the city, understanding both as cultural realities of unarguable importance and impact and objects of careful attention, study and investigation. RA aims to serve, specifically, the intellectual production of Theory and History, Urban Planning and Architectural Projects Departments, although it is initially open to articles and collaboration from other professional and teaching institutions. It also seeks to feed the perception of architecture as a cultural discipline, in the extensive sense of the word. RA avoids the publication of studio projects or faculty work which are more suitable covered by so many magazines in that field.
