Although a significant proportion of this construction is of appalling architectural quality, forming part of a chaotic urban development process which destroyed natural ecosystems, some alternative models also emerged, seeking a different kind of relationship with the environment. Fernando Higueras, who, together with his friend César Manrique proposed a distinctive approach to the island of Lanzarote, is an outstanding figure in this respect.

Although a significant proportion of this construction is of appalling architectural quality, forming part of a chaotic urban development process which destroyed natural ecosystems, some alternative models also emerged, seeking a different kind of relationship with the environment. Fernando Higueras, who, together with his friend César Manrique proposed a distinctive approach to the island of Lanzarote, is an outstanding figure in this respect.
