Samenvatting: "Sert is certainly the most international of Spain's modern architects.
All the various activities he initiated revolved around architecture. On a theoretical level, as a young man he defended the ideas behind the new architecture in the pages of the review AC. As a creative architect, he designed buildings that are still admired as examples to be followed. As a town planner, he devised models of urban development that are in force today. And as a teacher, from his chair at Harvard he influenced the professionals of later generations.
The exhibition 'Sert, half a century of architecture 1928-1979' shows not only his work as an architect but also its repercussions on town planning. Architecture and town planning were two inseparable concepts for him and both are studied in depth in his book 'Can Our Cities Survive?' - an indispensable work of reference for anyone wishing to know more about his thinking."
