This article reviews the influence of the media on the configuration and international dissemination of certain architectural models inspired by Mediterranean vernacular architecture. Exhibitions and catalogues, architecture books and magazines, as well as trips and personal contacts of architects, writers, artists, and intellectuals contributed to forging a mythical image of the ways of life, traditions, and popular architecture of the countries of the European South. This interest in popular culture peaked in the context of global efforts to recover an anti-elitist dimension of the discipline. New concepts such as humanisation, democratisation, and organicism, which were devised to render the ‘crisis’ of Modern architecture productive, began to displace Rationalist and functionalist references. This was when interest in popular culture, the vernacular tradition, and the domestic spaces of Mediterranean architecture were instrumentalised. The experiences of architects such as Josep Lluís Sert, Gio Ponti, or Bernard Rudofsky were intertwined with those of intellectuals from Northern Europe who sought a way of dwelling in the South that would afford ethical meaning and social values to life, in contact with the local community, nature, and history itself.

地中海与现代建筑：建筑媒体中神话的传播

本文回顾了媒体对受地中海乡土建筑启发的某些建筑模型的配置和国际传播的影响。展览和目录、建筑书籍和杂志，以及建筑师、作家、艺术家和知识分子的旅行和个人联系，为塑造欧洲南部国家的生活方式、传统和流行建筑的神话形象做出了贡献。这种对流行文化的兴趣在全球努力恢复该学科的反精英维度的背景下达到顶峰。旨在使现代建筑的“危机”富有成效的新概念，如人性化、民主化和有机主义，开始取代理性主义和功能主义的参考。这是对流行文化感兴趣的时候，白话传统和地中海建筑的国内空间被工具化了。Josep Lluís Sert、Gio Ponti 或 Bernard Rudofsky 等建筑师的经历与北欧知识分子的经历交织在一起，他们在南方寻求一种居住方式，为生活提供伦理意义和社会价值，与当地人接触社区、自然和历史本身。
