    The Siedlungen and Sáenz de Oíza’s social housing : a Spanish case study
    (2017) Jaureguízar Jiménez, Raquel; Philipp, Klaus Jan (Prof. Dr. phil. habil.)
    This historical research work is aimed to be an investigation into the influence of the German interwar and postwar Siedlungen and their architecture principles in the special case of the Spanish social housing projects designed and built after the Spanish Civil War, specially during the decade of the 1950s and, above all, through the important architectural achievements and contributions of Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oíza in terms of social housing in Madrid, since they precede and provide the basis of all his subsequent architectural production, which is much better known. The decision to analyze Sáenz de Oíza’s social housing production with a new critical approach and from the German reference is therefore based on the assumption that his work can be understood as a catalogue of architectural references, which are multiple and changing along his professional path. In the case of the German influences, they are most evident in his social housing production, concentrated in the decade of the 1950s, but they remain a constant reference in two isolated projects carried out by Sáenz de Oíza in subsequent decades, and more specifically in 1979 and 1986, when he revised the issue of social housing in the Spanish capital.
