In recent years, not a few books, essays or novels, chronicles or breviaries have been published in Spanish, which directly or indirectly have dealt with the circumstances of transparency and its interference in contemporary architecture. Among the literary novelties, this text investigates some of the hypotheses that about the relationships between the concept of transparency and the notion of architecture are present in, among others: El gran misterio (Aira); Fenêtre sur le Rien (Cioran) and Chaque jour est un arbre qui tombe (Wittkop), in addition to X-Ray Architecture (Colomina) and Escritos sobre la invisibilidad (Muñoz). From their detailed and comparative analysis it is deduced that the interest in studying the intimate links between the phenomenology of architecture and the conditions of the transparent have not only not lost validity but are in full swing, and that it is a matter whose resolution and disciplinary approach is still pending to be carried out by architectural theory.
