En busca de la modernidad deseada. Arquitectos españoles en EE. UU. en los años 50

Laburpena

The trips that Spanish architects made to the USA in the 1950s were a major source of the exchange of knowledge and information between the Spanish and American architecture of that time. Among them, we can highlight those done as a complement to the academic formation. Some of the Spanish architects who travelled to the USA entered post-graduate programs in some of the most prestigious schools of architecture. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the context and circumstances of those trips and to learn more about a few of them. We try to understand whether the Modern Movement was introduced in Spain through the academic formation, and at the same time, we try to explain the beginning of the cultural exchange in this field between Spain and the USA
