Summary:

"José María García de Paredes (Seville, 1924-Madrid, 1990) was born into a large family rooted in Cádiz. His initial calling, the Navy, was redirected by the architect-inventor Casto Fernández-Shaw toward architecture, and he earned his degree in 1950. History, the precision of naval discipline, and the presence of the sea became a part of a rational and imaginative approach. Study trips in Europe left a mark on his work and an open vision to complement his solid technical training. Residing in the Spanish Academy of Rome (1955-1958), he cultivated friendships with leaders of the cultural world, ties which culminated with his bond to music and the figure of Manuel de Falla. Presented as "meeting spaces," this exhibition shows his architecture as a thread that guides us through diverse themes and people, tracing a fruitful and promising period of culture in Spain, the decades stretching from 1950 to 1990." --book jacket.
