Abstract

Twenty years ago the British architect and urban designer Gordon Cullen died, without Spanish journals paying any particular attention to his legacy. As 2014 sees Cullen’s centenary, this article is intended to be a small homage to his work, and in particular to the genesis of his book Townscape. Thanks to its excellent drawings, this work has over the course of time become a classic in architectural literature.
