Publications → Reconstructing History: Knowledge and Recognition of the Architecture of the Spanish Exile in the Americas

This article by Inés Sánchez de Madariaga offers a critical contribution to the historiography of modern architecture by recovering the largely overlooked legacy of Spanish architects exiled after the Civil War. Despite achieving notable international recognition, their work has remained marginal in dominant architectural narratives. The text examines the complexity of reconstructing this dispersed history, shaped by forced migration, fragmented archives, and diverse cultural and professional contexts. A central argument of the article is the need to broaden analytical frameworks to include social, political, and gender perspectives, acknowledging displacement and lived experience as key factors in architectural production.
