José Manuel Aizpúrua y Joaquín Labayen; Studio de Arquitectura. 1928. Arquitectura y mobiliario en los albores de la modernidad

Abstract

The architecture studio that Jose Manuel Aizpurua and Joaquin Labayen built in 1928 in San Sebastian, was a manifesto and an essay of the modernity of the new architecture in their country. In the studio the architects show a new conception of architecture, the profession, space and furniture that until them were unknown in the local architectonic panorama. The studio was the laboratory of experimentation for forthcoming projects as well as a propagandistic and advertising slogan, which together with other initiatives wanted to seduce potential clients and provide the development of Aizpurua and Labayen's architectural ideas.
