David Cohn is an American architecture critic based in Madrid. His books include Young Spanish Architects (2000) and monographs on the Spanish architects Manuel Gallego and Francisco Mangado.
Cohn's engaging text examines the profound impact of national politics, regional cultures and ethical schools of thought on Spanish architecture. It also provides concise and evocative structural, spatial and experiential descriptions of key buildings exemplifying the consistently high-quality spaces and places that have been constructed in Spain over the last one hundred years. * Robert McCarter, Professor of Architecture, Washington University, St. Louis * A phenomenal achievement. Informative, balanced, and critical, David Cohn’s narrative places the architects and works of Spanish modernity in their political and social contexts, skillfully combining the big picture with revealing detail. * Luis Fernández-Galiano, Editor, Arquitectura Viva magazine *
