Catedral de escombros : Una anatomía del derrumbe

Disasters that look like accidents. A dam that functions yet kills. A theater that sinks with the audience inside. A factory that collapses upon the people sewing clothes for the First World. And a question: what went wrong during the catastrophic storm—the *DANA*—that devastated Valencia? Pedro Torrijos weaves together true stories, explores the fragility of the modern world, and reveals the hidden face of architecture when it becomes a deferred death sentence. Taking the aftermath of the autumn 2024 floods as a starting point, Torrijos constructs a narrative work capable of intertwining the reasons and motivations behind some of contemporary history’s deadliest structural failures. From the *Horta Sud* region to Bangladesh—and taking in Los Ángeles de San Rafael, France, Italy, the United States, and South Korea along the way—*Catedral de escombros* (Cathedral of Rubble) is a harrowing journey into the foundations and ruins of our present day.
