Rul·lan and the hotel Bahía Palace in Palma. The diffusion channels of tourist architecture photography

Published paper. International Conference Inter= Photography and Architecture, Universidad de Navarra, Pamplona. From 2nd to 4th Novembre, 2016.

During the earlier days of November, the Museum of the University of Navarra held the International Conference Inter=Photography and Architecture that reunited architects, artists and researchers.

My paper "Rul·lan and the hotel Bahía Palace of Palma. The diffusion channels of tourist architecture photography" was accepted for its publication in the proceedings book. In it, I analyse the series of photographs shot by Estudio Rul·lan (1918-1980) at the hotel Bahía Palace in the seaside promenade of Palma -preserved at the Arxiu del So i de la Imatge de Mallorca- and how they were spread through press and publicity.

The paper is included in the second volume of the proceedings (p.202-211) and can be read and downloaded in this link: Inter=photo arch. Interferences.
