Galindez is, without any doubt, the most brilliant of the architects that have ever existed in Bilbao: a city with a very high architectural quality, due to its privileged place in economic terms within Spain, and to the existence of an industrial bourgeoisie very relevant not only locally, but nationally. The book analyses eight buildings by Manuel Galindez, located in Madrid, Barcelona, and Bilbao. The book’s purpose is to fill the gap related to the absence of the great architects of the 20th Century ignored by the sectarian modern historiography. Galindez works are very conscious with the integration within the urban context. He is an architect that cares for the compositional issues beyond the style he uses in a given building.

And his construction is meticulous, rigorous, and exquisite.
