Criticism of ‘monument’ status for Casa Rudofsky
The environmental group GENA-Ecologistas en Acción has criticised the decision by the Junta de Andalucia to register the house built by the architect Bernard Rudofsky as a ‘monument’ (BIC – Bien de Interés Cultural).

They believe the building would be better classified as ‘notable’ rather than as a ‘monument’.
