Abstract

In one's desire to know, the architect's gaze extends over territories expected to be strange. It is in these territories, concrete or abstract, where the architect finds reasons for inspiration, reflection or questioning oneself. One of the most recurrent territories on which the Spanish architect's gaze rests is found in the distant Nordic regions of the European continent. However, what one discovers there is not entirely foreign. There is a certain link with the place, its material culture and the human dimension that are close to it, perhaps because they appeal to essential and shared concerns.

As conversations, this book reproduces the voices of prominent Spanish architects whose gaze converges on the confines of Nordic architecture. They are Francisco Cifuentes Utrero, Ángela García de Paredes, Ignacio García Pedrosa, José Ignacio Linazasoro, Luis Martínez Santa-María, Jaume Mayol Amengual, Irene Pérez Piferrer and Xavier Ros Majó.
