Luis Laorga, arquitecto

This study establishes Luis Laorga as a pivotal figure in Spanish architecture of the mid-to-late 20th century, highlighting his significant contributions through over 600 projects, including award-winning designs like the Basilica of Aránzazu and the Segovia Aqueduct area. Laorga's work, characterized by its rational yet expressive approach, spans diverse scales—from monumental educational complexes (e.g., Laboral Universities) to intimate residential designs—while integrating social initiatives, such as community housing in Madrid's periphery. The research documents his unique architectural language, marked by material innovation, structural rigor, and adaptive design, offering a critical framework for analyzing his oeuvre within Spain's post-war architectural landscape. By synthesizing historical documentation with formal analysis, the study aims to position Laorga's legacy in its rightful place, addressing a notable gap in existing scholarship.
