The exhibition is based on the book "New Museums in Spain " by journalist and writer Dr. Klaus Englert, who also curated the exhibition. A sample from a respectful point of view, sometimes with admiration, but also critical of the cultural monuments built since the beginning of the 1980s in Spain until nowadays (and so far until the Spanish economic crisis). The photo exhibition features 30 new, renewed or extended cultural buildings, often not only relevant because of their expressiveness and symbolism, but also due to the research lines they represent within the Spanish cultural architecture from the past three decades. With this exhibition, the Architects Association seeks to promote exchanges between European countries and critical discussion on the situation of architecture in Spain.
Enrique Sobejano, Nieto Sobejano Architects, is the guest speaker today, February 12, 2014 at 19pm in the House of Architecture in Düsseldorf. Enrique Sobejano is professor at the Institute of Experimental Design and Fundamentals of Design at the University of Berlin.
