Aprendiendo de las Cuencas : hacia una puesta en valor del paisaje cultural de las Cuencas Mineras = Learning from las Cuencas : towards highlighting the cultural landscape of the coalfields

Catálogo de la exposición celebrada en la Sala de Exposiciones SabadellHerrero de Oviedo y LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial de Gijón del 27 de septiembre de 2013 al 23 de febrero del 2014 This publication provides a new perspective on the cultural landscapes of mining across the province of Asturias in north-west Spain. These areas, after undergoing an intense process of industrialisation, have changed considerably within just a few decades. What were once natural valleys with rural economic and social structures came to host bustling, dense urban agglomerations. As a result, hybrid architectures have emerged, mutating artefacts which, despite the invisibility of their inevitable marginality, can offer interesting lessons in architecture today. Richly illustrated with photographs and diagrams, it features contributions from noted artists and architects.
