Vol. I: Modern Age and Vol. II: Contemporary Age.
This is an extensive and well-documented study of the transformation of Spanish urban housing from the 16th century to the present day. Beyond its architectural dimension, the work analyzes the house as an intimate, social, and emotional space, a reflection of lifestyles, technological advances, and cultural changes. Focusing on anonymous, mid-range urban houses, it explores their improvements in comfort, hygiene, functionality, and aesthetics, as well as their role in everyday life.
The book, the result of three years of work, compiles a variety of sources—treaties, literature, plans, photographs—and offers a rich and diverse iconography. It is divided into two volumes: the first examines the house in the Modern Age and its literary representation; the second addresses contemporary evolution, from the 19th century to the housing of the future, including topics such as sustainability and new technologies. It is a key work for understanding the history of inhabited space in Spain.
