It has been forty years since the birth of the magazine AV Monographs, and thirty since the release of its first Yearbook, a publication that has endeavored to gather, year after year, the best architecture built in Spain, taking stock at the same time of the most important debates, trends, and events of the cultural, economic, and social panorama in each period.
With this edition, the Yearbook begins a new phase, in which the transfer of the international summary to the recently launched Portfolio allows to devote more pages to the usual selection of twenty-four buildings, which acquire greater prominence and can be analyzed in more detail. The Royal Collections Gallery by Mansilla and Tuñón in Madrid, the Pallars Building by BAAS in Barcelona, the Hortensia Herrero Art Center by ERRE arquitectura in Valencia, and the social housing by Harquitectes in Gavà are a few of the works included in a selection that, for the first time, features the work of Spanish studios abroad, with examples like the Archive of the Avant-Garde by Nieto Sobejano in Dresden, or the Robert Olnick Pavilion by Campo Baeza and Quismondo near New York.
