Abstract

The text explores the Erwin Broner’s first approach to the island of Ibiza in 1934. It inquires into the reasons that led the German architect to fall in love with this place to the extent of settling there and build his own home after traveling around the world. Therefore, the text is mainly based on two pillars: first, on the biographical data of the German architect and, secondly, on the particularities of Ibiza, an unknown and magnetic place for artistsww and intellectuals in early century. Thus, regarding Broner, it is believed that it is fundamental figure to understand the phenomenon of educated migration experienced last century, being undoubtedly a pioneer and mirror for many others. And in respect for the place, Ibiza and its popular architecture –beyond its own rich history– played a key role in the development and evolution of the discipline, embodying the Mediterranean ideal adopted in the early thirties by modern archi­tecture. This reflection is expected to address the key factors that led Erwin Broner to develop on the island in the fifties and sixties a so fascinating architecture , of a opened modern sign, but considerate and sensitive about the special natural and built heritage place.
