La ciutat monstre: homenatge a Sanchís Guarner

The Gregori Maians Social Sciences Library hosts the piece “The Monster City: Homage to Sanchís Guarner”, a 3-meter-diameter wooden model representing the historic center of Valencia. It highlights 41 heritage buildings, some of which are photographed and demolished between 1940 and 1980.
This piece was first presented at the exhibition “Valencia 1972: Towards the Monster City”, held at the La Nau Cultural Center in 2022, in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Manuel Sanchis Guarner’s book The City of Valencia. A Synthesis of History and Urban Geography.
The exhibition reflected on urban evolution and the lack of protection of heritage during the Franco regime, a time when architectural renovation and urban reforms led to the destruction of numerous historic buildings, both traditional and modern. This model is a faithful and critical representation of it.
