The Casa del Niño (Children's Home): A Dehumanizing Intervention
Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
The Casa del Niño (Children's Home) is much more than an abandoned building: it is a key piece of our history and of architectural rationalism in the Canary Islands.
Its halls housed hundreds of children, becoming a place of contrasts: a project funded by public subscription and, at the same time, a space marked by the strict ideological and pedagogical discipline of the post-war era.
