Leon, a nexus where urban and rural fabrics interweave, is the city of origin of paradigmatic examples of Spanish architecture committed to a contemporary outlook. The first contemporary projects of the seventies served as exemplary architectural models for the development of the current mindset. The pioneers of Leon, Alejandro de la Sota, Javier Carvajal and Fray Coello de Portugal, paved the way for today's architects, such as Dominique Perrault, Mansilla and Tunon, and the young architects from León who compiled this guide that points towards global solutions for relocated territories from a local perspective. This guide to architecture in Leon is both open and systematic, and documents the contributions made by architecture to the construction of the city. Fifteen years of architecture in Leon are recorded through the texts of Dominique Perrault, Moises Puente, F. Javier Gutieerrez and the SIC studio, exploring distinct moments in space and time of the architecture of this region.
