- Abstract
In 1958, the Madrid Urban Planning Commission, run by Julián Laguna, commissioned the architects Romany, Cubillo, Sáenz de Oíza, Sierra, Fisac, Pinto and García de Paredes to design six preliminary projects for parish complexes in various absorption and programmed settlements. Of these, only the project from Cubillo for Canillas programmed settlement was built. This research recovers, as far as it is currently possible, the existing documentation on the preliminary projects of this Church Construction Plan by Laguna. Had it been built, it would have been the Madrid replica of the Plan developed in Vitoria by Bishop Peralta, one of the most outstanding initiatives of Spanish sacred architecture of the mid-20th century. The study of the different proposals reveals points in common in the preliminary projects of the architects linked to Hogar del Empleado building company, compared to the more personal options of Fisac or García de Paredes, continuation or germ, respectively, of highlight projects from both. The recovered projects provide very diverse approaches, both in their conception of the sacred space and its liturgical functionalism, as well as in their implementation strategies in neighborhoods that were still being built.
