BREAKING AND RENOVATION: THE ARCHITECTURAL OBJECT IN THE METROPOLIS

Abstract

Nowadays, architecture is searching for new approaches, a renewal of intentions in the pursuit of evolution, exactly as was happening at the beginning of the last century. Just like before, modernity cannot be achieved simply by stating that tastes have changed. Merely formal architecture does not imply the paradigm of modernity. Two buildings by Luis Albert, immersed in the city of Valencia, allow us to perform a graphic analysis of their development, completed after rationalising the initial formal intentions. It is impossible for architecture to exist without taking into account the context of its surroundings.
