At the beginning of the fifties, the claim to modernity and the rejection of what had been the architecture of "the last decade" had become widespread. In the School and in the profession, in an important historical moment, a new era began, as its architecture took a different slant. It was then when, in front of the towns of the General Directorate of Devastated Regions or the National Institute of Colonization, the directed towns, those of absorption, the minimum and the agricultural ones appeared; when faced with the forced reference to a false popular architecture, the need to build with new materials was demanded; when faced with stagnant programs of needs, the idea of "comfort" was assumed. If the forties were heavily monotonous, the fifties, on the contrary, were moments of short time, of constant change, of proposals debated, accepted or rejected. And it was that environment that Luis Cubillo, among others, knew, in their first steps, who later dominated the architectural panorama of the second half of the 20th century in Madrid. The book includes in its first part a series of partial studies by qualified teachers on Cubillo's work, selects a good part of the best works and projects of his career in the second, and ends with an illustrated biography.
Al iniciarse los años cincuenta el reclamo de modernidad y el rechazo a lo que había sido la arquitectura de "la última década" se había generalizado. En la Escuela y en la profesión, en un importante momento histórico, comenzaba una nueva época, al tomar su arquitectura un sesgo distinto. Fue entonces cuando, frente a los poblados de la Dirección General de Regiones Devastadas o del Instituto Nacional de Colonización, aparecieron los poblados dirigidos, los de absorción, los mínimos y los agrícolas; cuando frente a la forzada referencia a una falsa arquitectura popular se reclamó la necesidad de construir con nuevos materiales; cuando frente a anquilosados programas de necesidades se asumió la idea de "confort". Si los años cuarenta fueron pesadamente monótonos, los cincuenta, por el contrario, fueron momentos de tiempos cortos, de cambios constantes, de propuestas debatidas, aceptadas o rechazadas. Y fue aquel ambiente el que conocieron, en sus primeros pasos, los que luego dominaron el panorama arquitectónico de la segunda mitad del siglo XX en Madrid, Luis Cubillo entre otros. El libro agrupa en su primera parte una serie de estudios parciales de cualificados profesores sobre la obra de Cubillo, selecciona buena parte de las mejores obras y proyectos de su trayectoria en la segunda, y finaliza con una biografía ilustrada.
