Spanish Design and Architecture

A study of contemporary Spanish applied arts, architecture and design. The author's approach is to examine the strands of tradition which underlie their recent rise to a current position at the forefront of international design styles. Individual chapters are devoted to developments in the post-Franco era in architecture, furniture, fashion, including fabrics, jewellery, fashion accessories and fashion photography, product design, and a wide range of graphic design, from signs for public places to project studies for the 1992 Olympics and Expo, as well as current strands in Spanish typography and magazine design.
