The General Directorate of Cultural Heritage publishes the book Ventura Rodríguez. The power of drawing, that collects and analyzes all the architect's graphic production from different perspectives. In total, 370 drawings by Rodríguez are shown, which are complemented by another forty made by his most direct collaborators.
The publication Ventura Rodríguez. The power of drawing offers a reasoned compilation of all the architect's drawings, understood as elements that agglutinate and synthesize all his production.
