En 1927, Edward Weston, uno de los fotógrafos más innovadores e influyentes del siglo xx, realizó una serie muy personal de seis imágenes de la Lovell House de Rudolph M. Schindler en Newport Beach. Partiendo de documentación hallada en el archivo del arquitecto, este artículo pretende completar los primeros estudios que han contribuido a acreditar la autoría de estas fotografías tras décadas de silencio editorial y desinterés historiográfico. Asimismo, con el objetivo de interpretar las intenciones de Weston ante esta icónica vivienda californiana, su única incursión en el ámbito de la fotografía de arquitectura, este trabajo analiza comparativamente los elementos, técnicas y condiciones ambientales comunes a todas ellas.

This article addresses the question of collective housing from the standpoint of two key notions in the contemporary architectural debate: care and the commons. With this objective in mind, a series of analytical parameters are put forward. The aim is to contribute to broadening and qualifying our understanding of the production and management of the collective habitat. As an illustration of each of the ideas expounded in this this paper, insightful examples of recent Spanish architecture are specifically selected and commented, as well as two case studies chosen to elaborate upon their particularities. They all share the fact of being projects, partly or wholly, designed by women, a matter which has had particular relevance in the creation of more sensitive, diverse and integration of built environments. At a time of acute health, economic and social crisis, as well as isolation and insecurity, more than ever, there is an urgent need for inspirational new ways of living and thinking in common.

As one of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda, gender equality is a necessary foundation for a peaceful and sustainable world. The integration of the frameworks of analysis and action provided by gender perspective into the design, development and assessment of any program related to university education, research and management is essential to the fulfillment of both quality higher education and an effective transfer of knowledge and values to society. Starting from a standpoint of commitment to this progressive outlook, this essay focuses on the specific case of the University of Alicante, Spain, and on its Architecture studies. It seeks to underline the achievements of this institution in the fostering of a critical spirit and the empathy of its students by way of the implementation of gender perspective as a tool for the conception of complex, diverse and integrating projects, aligned to the objective of mutual care between people and the environment. This is crucial for the co-education of future generations of architects, who will play a central role in the definition of new practices and policies related to space and materials, which favor a more sustainable, inclusive and caring scenario for both humans and non-humans.

A stroll around the University of Alicante campus is like a journey through the history of Spanish architecture of the last 40 years, as many of its buildings exemplify the best production of the period. This legacy also tells a story about the role played by female architects within the profession. In fact, a gender reading reveals that only two women, Pilar Vázquez Carrasco, the architect of the Faculty of Sciences (FS, 1982) and the Social Club I (1987), and Dolores Alonso Vera, responsible for the Higher Polytechnic School IV (HPS, 1999), have designed structures on the campus over almost four decades and out of a total of more than 50 buildings. The FS is an example of structural sincerity whose brick and concrete materials and externalisation of services provide Brutalist echoes. The HPS IV is a design exercise consisting of a series of elegant, inviting volumes and open spaces intertwined with the campus garden. This essay focuses on the comparative analysis of these two award-winning works to unveil those contributions that female authorship has brought to their solutions by relating them to comparable buildings in space, time and type, but designed by male architects.

This paper addresses the under-recognized implications of SFMA’s early architectural exhibition program. Conceived under founding director Grace Morley, a series of pioneering events first presented Bay Area architects’ work as interdependent with the region’s rich geographical and cultural context, offering new lens through which Eastern critics prompted to re-evaluate California modernism. Among these shows, the 1949 landmark exhibition Domestic Architecture of the San Francisco Bay Region would epitomize the postwar discussions upon the autonomy of American modern architecture. Correspondingly, by exploring SFMA-MoMA exchanges during Elizabeth Mock’s curatorship, this essay aims to examine the conflict of perceptions and intentions between the country’s two Coasts that brought about the 1949 show as part of a well-orchestrated campaign that had begun years before Lewis Mumford’s 1947 New Yorker piece triggered a controversy over the existence of a “Bay Region Style.” Contrary to prevailing assumptions that this exhibition was a delayed reaction to the 1948 MoMA symposium organized by Philip Johnson to refute Mumford’s arguments, it was the consequence of an effective regionalist agenda whose success was, precisely, that many influential actors in the United States were exposed, indoctrinated and/or seduced by the so-called Bay Region School’s emphasis on social, political and ecological concerns.

This paper aims to explore the early history of (California) Arts & Architecture’s visual construction, whose understanding of the unfairly neglected 1935–1945 period is long overdue. Firstly, from the perspective of graphic expression, the evolution of the magazine’s image according to its changing policies can be illustrated by contrasting pre-Entenza California Arts & Architecture covers with other leading architectural periodicals and local magazines. Their diversity of techniques, formats and graphic tools reveal a wide range of sensibilities and creative responses to the economic, social and political forces that were shaping the physical environment and cultural landscape of Southern California. Secondly, the study of Entenza’s experimental first years speaks volumes about his interest in recruiting some of the brightest talents of the time to pioneer a primarily visual coalescence between design and advertising culture. The subtle convergence of updated European avant-garde graphical traditions with the seamless flow of information pertaining to the impending consumer society ultimately produced the distinguished style of the magazine everyone came to admire. Yet, the achievement of this successful synthesis between art, architecture and publicity has to be understood as a gradual transformation process which can be exemplified through some graphically outstanding milestones.

El desarrollo de las tecnologías del siglo XX permitió explorar, hasta sus últimas consecuencias, el simbolismo arquitectónico del cristal refulgente. Vinculada a la confesión protestante del reverendo Schuller, e imbuida del «si lo puedes soñar, lo puedes hacer» del célebre telepredicador, la Crystal Cathedral (1975/80) de Philip Johnson despertaba la mística de las arquitecturas alpinas de Bruno Taut bajo el sol perfecto del condado de Disney. Concebido como una estrella alongada, el edificio escondía tras su piel espejada un paisaje rebosante de luz mediterránea, un auténtico Traum aus Glas aeroespacial donde el Angst expresionista dejaba paso al fun californiano. Como supremos sacerdotes mediáticos, cliente y arquitecto trasmutaron la casa de Dios en un gigantesco plató televisivo que sedujo el alma postmoderna de Norteamérica. Recientemente adquirido por la Diócesis de Orange, este insólito espacio será pronto transformado de escenario televangelista a templo católico, de Catedral de Cristal a Catedral de Cristo.

En 1933 se celebra el concurso de anteproyectos para la primera ciudad turística de España. Las bases de la convocatoria exigían una extensa documentación: planes, planos y perspectivas. El análisis de la propuesta vencedora —muy sensible a las preexistencias— pone de relieve la secuencia que liga la geografía con la ordenación urbana gracias al pensamiento y a las herramientas gráficas. Primero, se dibuja el territorio levantando acta del mismo recurriendo a los diagramas. Segundo, los datos y las vocaciones del suelo se transforman en una trama urbana zonificada en el espacio y programada en el tiempo. Y tercero, la fotografía del paisaje sugiere los enclaves panorámicos y algunas de las arquitecturas clave. En este hito de la planificación se dan cita las modernas técnicas gráficas y fotográficas que interactúan con el urbanismo moderno del zoning.
