Alejandro de la Sota and the Pueblos de Colonización
This thesis focuses on the village of Entrerríos, Spain designed in 1953 by Alejandro de la Sota. The village is one of the three-hundred pueblos de colonización built by Franco’s Instituto Nacional de Colonizacion (INC) to revitalize the Spanish countryside after the devastating Civil War, by combining large-scale irrigation projects with new villages that reflect the regimes ideal way of living. Alejandro de la Sota designed a series five villages for this institute, that are known for combining regional architectural motives with the principles of modern architecture. The paper positions the overlooked village of Entrerríos by analysing its context and design principles, through the research of novel primary sources. The village is found to introduce the architects new focus on the landscape and the square as a means to do so.
