El proyecto de plaza de toros de Picasso y su relación con la arquitectura de masas.

Abstract

A study of the project undertaken by Pablo Picasso, Antonio Bonet and Luis Miguel Dominguín for the construction of a bullring in accordance with the concept of contemporary architecture for the masses. Using the artist’s notes on his vision of bullfighting and the bull and its relationship with the characters, research is conducted into sketches and spatial treatments that reveal commonalities between the theories of Le Corbusier and Picasso’s vision of total art. A disciple of the Swiss architect, Bonet conveyed the master’s teachings in Latin American and Spanish projects, and later applied them in designing bullring architecture based on materials, structures and people flows with a vision that was pioneering and innovative for Spanish architecture.
