Description
This hardcover book pairs crisp period photography with a focused survey of 22 Mediterranean houses in Cadaqués. It explores how architects shaped a modern coastal domestic style between 1955 and 1971, making it a strong pick for architecture students, design professionals, and anyone drawn to Spain’s Costa Brava modernism.
_____
The Modern Architecture of Cadaqués by Nacho Alegre maps a key chapter in mid-century Mediterranean architecture through archival images and contextual writing. It highlights work by architects including José Antonio Coderch, Federico Correa, Alfonso Milà, Peter Harnden, Lanfranco Bombelli, Oscar Tusquets, and Lluís Clotet. If you’re searching for an architecture coffee table book that’s as visual as it is specific, this one stays tightly anchored to place and period.
Keep it near your desk for quick reference when sketching details like terraces, openings, and the relationship between house and landscape. It’s also an easy grab for a slower evening read, since the photography does a lot of the storytelling on its own. The focused scope makes it a satisfying addition to a modern architecture book collection without feeling like a general survey.
