Luis Gutiérrez Soto en Sevilla

Abstract

Between 1954 and 1965 Luis Gutiérrez Soto designed and built in Seville three buildings of large scale collective houses in the Cuba Square, the great gateway to the new extension of Triana in Los Remedios. While these buildings are included in several catalogs of contemporary architecture (1) (2) and architectural city guides (3), in the different studies of his work, they are cited only in the general indices, and the impact on the sevillian architectural context has not been considered yet. This article aims to point out the importance that these projects were in the implementation and further development of this residential typology in the city of Seville, becoming essential typological models for both local architects and future residents of these homes.
