INFORMACIÓN Y REPRESENTACIÓN GRÁFICA: La Manga del Mar Menor y el primer Plan Bonet (1961-1963)

Abstract

[EN] Antoni Bonet, as it is known, had worked and collaborated with Sert and Torres Clavé during his time at University, when he also joined the GATCPAC as a student partner. Whilst attending the 4th CIAM he met Le Corbusier. He finished his studies in 1936 and soon afterwards he moved to Paris to work in his office. In Paris he befriended some fellow Argentinian architects who influenced his decision to choose Buenos Aires as his destination of exile in 1938. The Plan for La Manga coincided with the return of Bonet to Spain in 1959 after his stay in Argentina and constituted the peak of his professional career.

[ES] Como es sabido, Antoni Bonet había colaborado durante su etapa universitaria con Sert y con Torres Clavé, incorporándose como socio estudiante al GATCPAC. Durante su asistencia al IV CIAM pudo conocer a Le Corbusier, en cuyo estudio ingresó tras finalizar sus estudios en 1936. Allí entablaría amistad con jóvenes arquitectos argentinos quienes, en 1938, influyeron en su decisión de que Buenos Aires se convirtiera en el destino de su exilio. El Plan para La Manga coincide con el regreso de Bonet a España en 1959 tras su estancia en Argentina y constituye un punto de inflexión en su trayectoria profesional.
