In the case of Spain, the analysis is framed within a culturally rich landscape where Christian, Muslim, and Jewish iconographies converge, alongside a global influence dating back to the 16th century that persists today through the Spanish Revival style. This tradition of ornamentation and detail is evident from 19th-century Catalan Modernism—led by Antoni Gaudí and iconic works like the Sagrada Família—to the rise of modern urbanism born in Barcelona. Following the democratic transition in 1975, Spain positioned itself at the center of global architectural debate with figures like Oriol Bohigas and Rafael Moneo; a relevance that continues today through the analysis of the “Bilbao Effect” and the legacy of architects like Ricardo Bofill, elements that continue to dominate contemporary design conversations worldwide.
