OTHER WAYS OF DOING ARCHITECTURE: A CONVERSATION WITH MADRID ARCHITECTS – PART TWO

Architectural Review: Has anything structurally changed in Madrid since 2008? And what do you consider have been the biggest changes post-pandemic? Uriel Fogué: The whole economy of this country was based in bricks.
