Resumen
By examining the concepts of the gigantic and the miniature — derived from the elimination of the project’s facade— the essay analyzes the scalar opposition between the urban and the intimate in House and Garden, Tokyo (2006-2011) by Ryue Nishizawa. The study of the urban landscape, the architectural program regarding its exposure to the public realm and the greenery reveal the architectural and though systems which allow the building to operate, apparently, without facade; as in a dollhouse, the house’s exposed intimacy becomes its architectural expression, which is complemented by vegetation that mitigates and mediates between interior and exterior. The essay discusses the way in which the entire house functions as a facade —by concentrating its lightness qualities in its most visible parts— in what is a non-conventional architectural response, in a non-conventional site.

Resumen
Traditional architecture linked to that the architecture of the water or the glass balconies was a reference for the architects of A Coruña, who after the break in the first years of the dictatorship were seeking to give an outlet to modernity, totally in a dead-end after the civil war. The publication, in September 1968, of the article ‘Las galerías de La Coruña’ of Adolfo González Amezqueta in Arquitectura magazine, is far from being just a naive descriptive document of such an emblematic architectural element of the city. On the opposite, it is an important contemporary and consistent theoretical contribution, where it is possible to find the influences of the text Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture published two years earlier by the architect Robert Venturi.

Resumen
In 1952 the architects Alison and Peter Smithson started, through the meetings held within the Independent Group, a series of analysis and thoughts about the concept of good within the consumption society. As a result, the Smithson drew between 1956 and 1959 a collection of houses that, with the name of Appliance Houses, provoked a new way of understanding the relation between architecture and objects. This new association, materialized through a different manner of comprehending the appliances and the furniture, allowed at the latest 50’s with the project that ended the series, generated at in the Retirement House in Kent (1959) a new kind of domestic space that broke definitely with the pre-war idea of house.

Resumen
In a Europe that became a territory of ideological dispute in the fifties, propaganda campaigns would play a decisive role. The well-known American economic relief plan —The Marshall Plan— would also launch an ambitious program of exposition. Given the general devastation conditions of the Old Continent, the model of itinerant exhibition, in which continent and content are moved together from one place to another, emerged as a propaganda system of enormous efficiency and greater capacity for impact. A practice that had been rehearsed before in the American country itself, but that would be developed with superior intensity by Peter G. Harnden, the main actor and designer of these propaganda campaigns.

Resumen
Almost seventy years after its appearance, we review the project of the School of Darmstadt and its subsequent materialization in the Schools of Lünen and Marl, examining in depth the keys of Hans Scharoun´s organic thinking. From its implementation, the school is an aggregate of cells generating in its turn the neighborhood and the city. The projective method, deductive of the form or Formfindung, incorporates the social, pedagogical, constructive and economic requirements with apparent simplicity, educating and organically integrating the individual into society, generating an architecture with validity and future projection. We conclude with the present time and the social appreciation of the Scharoun schools, both of which are in use and have been recently renovated adapting them to current needs, and which persist thanks to the community efforts of the inhabitants of both cities.

Resumen
The Spanish car company SEAT is a clear example of how architecture can be used as an instrument to create brand image. This paper provides a visual account of the parallel evolution of the buildings developed by architects César Ortiz-Echagüe, Rafael de la Joya Castro, Manuel Barbero Rebolledo and Rafael Echaide, and the iconic vehicles produced by the famous car manufacturer. Numerous photographers were interested in capturing through their lenses the modernity of the architectonic proposals of the time; however, Juan Pando stands out for blending product and architecture photography, reinforcing the communication and meaning of what the car company represented.

Resumen
The history of glass architecture has been animated by a ‘dream’, stimulated by the particular interaction properties of this material with light. The article approaches to the genesis of that dream and its first manifestations, in the form of legends about fantastic glass buildings, transcribed in sacred or literary texts. It refers also to the architectures in which it has been materialized and some of the architects it has inspired. We conclude that the survival of this dream in time is due to the capacity granted to glass as a way to access indistinctly to ‘anagogies’ (elevation and alienation of the soul by the contemplation of ‘divine’ things), whether religious or secular.

Resumen
With the first radiography of the physicist Wilhem Röntgen in 1895, the modern man discovered the possibility of unveiling a hidden world. What it was invisible to the empiric eye, now it was visible to the radiographic eye. This new visibility that collapsed the surface as edge, it knotted the visible with the non-visible. This knot has given to architecture and life the capability of a new ‘way of seeing’ in order to face a new ‘way of doing’. This new ‘way of seeing’ had a clear influence in the architecture of that epoch. An architecture drawn with skin and bones discovered in its visible transparency, the therapeutic mission for an invisible city. But everything was not skin and bones. That new visibility also drew a nature of visible transparency that transforms architecture into non-visible one.

Resumen
The house as a prelinguistic area of architecture plays a leading role in shaping privacy and, consequently, is a necessary collaborator of its anomalies. Entering domestic interior –interrupting the privacy of its inhabitant during his absence–, stealing inadvertently the vision of the privacy of others, or making the interior of the house a complete and self-sufficient world in which to withdraw, are the situations in which space results, in the shadow, decisive.
