| Summary: | [EN] The works that Josep María Fargas and Enric Tous built in the period between 1953 and 1964 represented a particular way of understanding modern architecture in Spain. The scarcity of building materials available at the time encouraged the architects to delve in a process of intense search for new constructive solutions, rigorously assessing not only technical issues, but also the way they were visually displayed. The predominant visual features in Fargas and Tous’ first works have been analyzed through a digital three-dimensional reconstruction process of a series of four of the most representative works in the aforementioned period. The method allows for a visual intellection that has been embodied in a sequence of texts and images. By doing this, the text aims to value a body of work that remains current in many of its architectural principles, despite its physical absence. |
