Being the first book series dedicated to vindicating and disseminating Madrid's 20th century architectural heritage both among the Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos de Madrid (COAM) members themselves --and, in particular, among the youngest ones-- as well as among the citizens of Madrid, the 'Libros de Arquitectura' Series will dedicate its first volume to Housing.

The book traces the history of the building, from the demolition of the former Hospital de la Princesa, the first attempts to build a housing complex for military personnel (preliminary studies and restricted competition) to the commission made to Fernando Higueras and the development of the project together with Antonio Miró and, finally, its subsequent construction. However, the book does not stop there, by complementing the reproduction of all those documents that determine its history (reports, studies, records, drawings, plans and images) with a new visual essay and several essays that critically review the building from different contemporary paradigms, including that which refers to the critical conservation of modern heritage.
