V Iberian Docomomo Congress

In October 2005 the Iberian DOCOMOMO Foundation organised its fifth congress in Barcelona on the topic GATCPAC AND ITS TIME. Politics, Culture and Architecture in the 1930s. The congress was held 75 years after GATCPAC was founded, and the focus of debate was the way Modern Movement proposals were received and disseminated in the Iberian Peninsula.

 

The symposium reflected recent contributions that have challenged the myth of the "Modern Movement" which prevailed until recently. Also it opened up the area of research with the aim of putting Spanish use of the international design language into context.

The congress was organised in four thematic environments that concentrated the debate on the other featured aspects: Politics and architecture, GATCPAC's internal and external relationships, Architecture and city governance, and The culture of the image.
