| Summary: | [EN] The whole school plans made by the Francoism for 40 years, left a large number of schools where come together many aspects that make it a prime architectural heritage in the city of Elche. Firstly, we have to underline that the school architecture that was held in the city during the Franco regimen reached to be a reflection and witness of much of the evolution and transformation of the Spanish architecture of those years. Until the end of the sixties almost all the school architecture of the city was performed by Serrano Peral and Perez Aracil, the first as a school architect and the second as municipal architect. Their works becomes a witness to the vicissitudes of Spanish architecture after the civil war and till the start of the Spanish development. After them, Serrano Brú, son of Serrano Peral, held all public schools architecture of the city, there we are able to follow the same transformation and hesitations that are typical of the Spanish architecture of the seventies, once that the principles International Style sacred finished. With the work of the main protagonists of the investigation period cited above, other buildings and other architects allow us to complete the panorama of Spanish architecture of the time. The school building in the city during francoism had the strong and continued support from the Mayor Vicente Quiles. His presence from the middle of the sixties, the largest school construction period, allows us to have a common thread to organize the story. The set is a sufficiently large and homogeneous number of works to study, from it, influence the political, socio-economic, educational and legislative framework had on the school building. In the whole school work of the city we will see the evolution of the pedagogical model that goes from the first model of the authoritarian Franco regime which is expressed in the unit and graduate schools to the brief illusion of flexible and personalized School Education Act. Also the placement of the school in the city is subject of our interest as far as the architecture, and especially the school building, is a powerful tool for building the city. Its location in palm groves, in consolidated peripheral environments has important implications for the use, processing and image of the city, Primary sources of the professionals and municipal school construction files with interviews, visits to buildings, and photographic reports have allowed us to look through a set of works, whose main interest, apart from the architectural consideration of each of them, is building a homogeneous whole period of architecture in the city (both in school and in general specificity) and all at the same time, in the context of the Spanish architecture of its time. |
