It is surprising to visit with today’s eyes the “journalists’ chalets” of the past, those single-family homes, with outdoor vegetation, terraces, and a modernist air that the architect Enrique Viedma (València, 1889-1959) built in 1935 next to Blasco Ibáñez Avenue in the capital of the Túria. Single-family homes, with a lobby, living room, kitchen, three or four bedrooms, outdoor patio, and a privileged location next to the Viveros gardens that were designed for the Press Association. Looking at them with the eyes of a city now besieged by the real estate crisis, which tears its seams, raises its prices, and expels its neighbors, is even more surprising.
