Secretly most architects aspire to create a new icon every time they design a grand modern building, yet only a handful of office towers, conference centres and public edifices ever achieve that status. The precise ingredients that make something a landmark and icon of a city or region remain as mysterious as the laws that govern perfect symmetry and aesthetics. Ask famous architects such as Santiago Calatrava (Valencia), Frank Gehry (Bilbao) or Richard Rodgers and Renzo Piano (Paris) exactly why their creations have been so enthusiastically embraced by the public and they will be the first to admit it’s a mysterious thing.

Antonio Escario qualified at one of the most exciting periods in architectural history. Many may associate the 1960s with the functional engineering driven styles of the post-war era, but this was also a period of great optimism and experimentation, most aptly expressed in the Modernist style.

“It was a great time to emerge on the scene,” says Escario. “There was so much creativity and energy in my profession at the time, which I guess stemmed from a great belief in the future and what technology could do to enhance our lives.” These days we are perhaps a little more sceptical, weighing up both the benefits and disadvantages of progress, but it cannot be denied that even now we keep coming back to an era that produced many of the design classics that hold true to this day.”
