The article focuses on the evolution of collective housing design, tracing its roots from Existenzminimum rationalist approaches to modern reinterpretations influenced by factors such as social roles, flexibility, and sustainability. Topics include the impact of international trends, addressing the obsolescence of existing housing, and adapting to social and environmental challenges.

Upon analyzing the state of the periphery in contemporary cities, it is possible to detect overlapping difficulties in physical, conceptual and social spheres, which necessitate an intervention model aimed at the integrated urban regeneration of this area. However, the interventions undertaken so far, as viewed from a normative and historical perspective, have largely been based on entirely physical actions. By studying the urban renovation of Caño Roto, Madrid --a social housing complex built between 1957 and 1963, and renovated between 1994 and 2004-- the effects of the structural and functional interventions to the building and the development on the subsequent evolution of the area are examined. To this end, the issues that affect the relationship between the complex and the city, that is to say its connectivity and those that condition its urban complexity, are discussed. Hence, this research verifies if the physical process serves as an impulse for the integration of the complex, or if on the contrary, it must be complemented with other types of specific actions.

The application of the concept of phenomenal transparency to collage as defined by C. Rowe and R. Slutzky from its origin in cubism to the work of Mies van der Rohe triggers a reflection on how he conceived space. The Resor house project is taken as a basis to analyse how he expresses in the collages, because of their inherent nature to the organization of the figures, and it becomes apparent how it would have been made sensible in its space by the combination of the elements that comprise it.

In this paper, we analyse the Fernando García Mercadal's drawings, with which he studied Mediterranean architecture during his stay in Rome, in the early twenties of the 20th century 1, comprehending them as a manifesto. The traveller nature of this architect, who acted as a link between the Spanish and European avantgarde, strongly influenced the development of his drawing and the character of his work, to the point of turning them into transmitters of the new ideas. The use of the image of popular architecture as a code, which acts rather by convention than by analogy, allows us to interpret it as a manifesto, and to relate it with his later work.

A finales del siglo xiii se produjo un cambio en la concepción de los vitrales. De las vidrieras del siglo xii entendidas como retenedoras de luz, es decir cómo superficie mural, se evolucionó a las vidrieras de finales del XIII, entendidas como trasmisoras de luz, es decir como huecos arquitectónicos. Pero este cambio apenas sí se aprecia en el espacio de las catedrales, ya que es atenuado por otras transformaciones de índole arquitectónico. En este artículo vamos a estudiarlo tomando como ejemplo la Catedral de León. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
