Arquitecture and power: the visual discourse of NO-DO and the arquitecture of francoism (1943- 1975)

Abstract

Today we can consider NO-DO as a source of inestimable value for historical research in all its areas. This news program that developed parallel to the Franco regime was instrumented in the service of the regime, an issue that loses its negative connotations when - as is the case of this article - we treat it as a source of information. In particular the representation made by the NO-DO News of the architectural production is a testimony of great relevance for the History of Art. “Interrogar” the different architectural images allow us to deepen how the footprint of Spanish architecture of the moment is constructed, from a perspective when less singular.
