It is not easy to face the task of writing about the Spanish architecture of recent years, because any reflection is quickly overshadowed by the situation that we all know - a very negative economic and employment environment, and a very degraded social factor. However, when analyzed further, one can detect new shafts of light that illuminate some hope. On the one hand, new opportunities are slowly beginning to take shape in the form of commissions or small-scale projects on the immense heritage already built; on the other hand, the devaluation of the role of the architect in society is very much affected by the presence of a few names that from their illustrious role, or from their lucrative anonymity, have distorted the image of the profession. Thus, these are bad times for construction, for real estate, or for stardom, but these are still good times for architecture.
