The Museo ICO presents an exhibition from June 4 to September 7 that highlights the disciplinary role of photography in the context of modern Spanish architecture. Photography and Modern Architecture in Spain, 1925-1965' stems from an ongoing research project and presents, for the first time and explicitly, an approach to the role of photography in Spanish architectural modernity. It establishes as a flexible time frame those decades that the historiography of Spanish architecture points out as specific of what was called the Modern Movement: from the irruption of the avant-garde in the mid-1920s to the crisis of the International Style in the late 1960s.

The exhibition separates the photographs from their context and purpose -the dissemination of architecture- to value them in themselves from the point of view of the photographic discipline and the contribution of the photographers. As in the international context, there was also an intense flow of work and cooperation between photographers, architects and the media in Spain, which contributed to highlighting the value of the photographers' gaze.

The exhibition presents the work of nearly forty professionals who portrayed the Spanish architecture of modernity. In it, there are references to the legacies of Carvajal, Ortiz-Echagüe, Aburto and Aizpurua, as well as images of buildings of Navarrese architecture by famous architects such as Víctor Eusa and Fernando Redón . All these photographic references are part of the General Archive of the University of Navarra.
