FERNANDO HIGUERAS. DESDE EL ORIGEN

1950-2008

This catalog exhaustively compiles the best works and projects of Fernando Higueras, from his first drawings to his latest proposals. Abundantly illustrated and rigorously documented, it is undoubtedly the most complete monograph dedicated to the architect, conceived as a fundamentally visual and informative chronological tour that includes sketches, plans, drawings, photographs, files, memoirs, working models, etc. The contents are organized in various periods, according to Higueras’ own biography, which demonstrates the fundamental ideas, the continuities, developments and evolutions and the new approaches that are incorporated into his approaches at different times. Thus, the genesis, development and final constructed result of its buildings can be analyzed, understanding the architectural concepts that inspire them and the design mechanisms that characterize them. It would be endless to make a complete list of the works included in the catalog here, but we must highlight some as emblematic as the Estudio school, the Lucio Muñoz house, the Macarrona house, the UVA de Hortaleza, the Center for Artistic Restorations, the housing for the military, the Hotel Las Salinas, the competitions for the Spanish Pavilion in New York and the multipurpose building in Monte Carlo, the splendid Partial Plan of Playa Blanca in Lanzarote…
