| Sumario: | [EN] Alejandro de la Sota is an essential master of 20th century Spanish architecture. Throughout his work, attention to popular construction is revealed as a constant that evolves from almost a literal assimilation of his first achievements, down to the synthesis of its essential elements through abstraction and the use of novel materials in his latest proposals. From this perspective, the aim of this article is to analyse the influence of popular architecture on his production through the study of original documentation that is preserved from various domestic proposals, some of them unpublished, made by the architect for the Mediterranean environment between the fifties and the eighties. None of them will ever materialize, so they will remain in the architect's imagination as a longed for dream; the dream of inhabiting the Mediterranean. |
