Construcción mínima en la obra de Tous y Fargas

Abstract

Between the 1950s and 1960s two Barcelona architects explored the technical possibilities of architecture in a context dominated by the realistic conformism determined by the political situation. Faithful to a direct contact with the industrial manufacturing, which Tous & Fargas made use of thanks to their first works, they used international references, especially from North America, for the reproduction of constructive solutions and innovative production methodologies. With technical efficiency as a premise, their works sought to influence the local construction industry by proposing residential prototypes such as the Door House and the Solanas House.
