Directed and co-directed by the Senior Lecturer Delfín Rodríguez Ruiz and the Professor Associated Helena Pérez Gallardo, respectively, the Research Group of the UCM, with a mention of excellence “Figuration, representation and images of architecture. From the 18th to the 20th century” are intended to be an instrument for the dissemination, articulation and exchange of research and sources on the representation of architecture, both through the images that have dreamed, projected and represented it from the 16th century to the present (painted architectures, drawings, prints, photographs and other supports), such as through architectures written in utopias, treatises or manuscripts and other stories. Validated in september 2013, since then teaching and training activities, exhibitions and collective and individual publications have been the main ways of developing the proposals as an interdisciplinary group that includes professors from the Department of Art History, among them Professor Associated Esther Merino, as well as other national and foreign universities.
