Experts from Spain, Portugal, Germany, Italy and Brazil participate in the X International congress on History of Modern Spanish Architecture of the University of Navarra held under the degree scroll "Architecture imported and exported in Spain and Portugal (1925-1975)".

The meeting will analyze the projection of Iberian architecture outside Spain and Portugal, as well as the action of foreign architects in the Iberian Peninsula. Documenting this flow of knowledge, works and people across the peninsular borders will serve to better understand the beginning of the golden century of peninsular architecture.  

The incorporation of Portugal, as a novelty

The main novelty offered by this tenth biannual congress , organized by the School of ArchitectureThe main novelty of this tenth biannual meeting, organized by the Foundation, is the extension of the geographical area, which reaches the entire Iberian Peninsula and no longer only Spain, which means the incorporation of researchers from Portugal.

According to José Manuel Pozo, professor at School of Architecture and organizer of congress, "the appreciable similarities between the processes of gestation, development and progress of contemporary architecture in Spain and Portugal in the 20th century and before make it necessary to extend the scope of our research to the entire 'Iberian Space'".

In this sense, it is worth mentioning the work of Ana Tostoes, professor at the high school Superior Técnico de Lisboa, speaker of congress, who has worked on the establishment of relations between the Spanish and Portuguese avant-garde in the 1950s through the Small Congresses.
