Digitization of the Architect Antonio Tenreiro Brochón's legacy

Antonio Tenreiro Brochón (A Coruña 1923 - 2006) is one of the key figures in the recovery of modernity that occurred in Spain from the 1950s onwards, when the autarchic period following the Civil War was overcome and a new generation of architects joined the profession, detached from previous historicist languages and reintroducing modern principles in a critical and reflective manner. As a result of his professional activity, carried out between 1951 and 1981, a documentary fund was generated which he himself donated to the City Council of A Coruña in 2001, being preserved since then in the Archivo Municipal de A Coruña. In 2017, Fundación Alejandro de la Sota proposed the incorporation of this legacy into “Archivos de Arquitectos del Siglo XX”. This experience has allowed Tenreiro Brochón most outstanding projects to be available on the web. The aim of this study is to assess and analyse the reflection process carried out for the documentary selection, as well as other critical decisions of both a theoretical and technical nature taken in the same. It is proposed here as a model of interdisciplinary action in the case of professional archives, concretised in the archives of architects' offices
