\"Spain's remarkable twentieth-century architecture evolved against a turbulent background of revolution, civil war, dictatorship, and transition to democracy. Architecture played a key role in Spain's struggle out of poverty and isolation, and its search for identity in the modern world. This book examines Spanish architecture from the roots of Modernism in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to the present, analysing significant figures and their works in relation to their political, social, and cultural contexts, as well as their contributions to architecture as a whole. From the austere, local Modernism of the 1920s, the influence of international trends in the '30s, the renewed, 'Organicist' Modernism of the '50s and '60s, to the flourishing public architecture of the late twentieth century and beyond, Spain provides a penetrating account of the country's rich and varied built environment\"-- Provided by publisher.

Modernist architecture in Barcelona reveals a new trace fossil from the Miocene of Montjuïc (NE Spain)
A new ichnotaxon, Lapillitubus montjuichensis n. i gen. n. isp., is described from the middle Miocene (Serravallian) of Montjuïc mountain (Barcelona, northeastern Spain). This ichnotaxon consists of a horizontal to vertical, cylindrical burrow with an agglutinated lining exclusively composed of lithoclasts. Lapillitubus montjuichensis is interpreted as the result of the burrowing activity of a deposit- or suspension-feeding annelid worm. This new ichnotaxon extends the record of the informal group known as clast-armored or agglutinated trace fossils. In addition, since part of its type material is located in the blocks that make up the façades of several modernist buildings in the city of Barcelona, this new ichnotaxon highlights the importance of fossils in urban settings for those cases in which natural outcrops are reduced, restricted or even missing.

A transitional urban design in Spain (Huesca, 1970–1980)
This article sets out to investigate urban design during a period of transition between two very different ways of understanding the city: the typical, pre-1970s rational urban planning and the neo-rational urban planning common in subsequent years. In order to understand this process, the most significant set of local plans in Huesca from this period have been selected, so as to limit the period under study to a single city. Therefore, the article is divided into five sections. The first and last consist of the introduction and conclusions, respectively. The three middle sections cover the period of transition, first describing the earlier rationalist solutions (with Lots 16, 17 and 13), then the process of transition (Lot 28), and, finally, the subsequent neo-rationalist solutions (through Lots 25 and 29).
