Among the works that are in this new exhibition 2016 in ICO Museum is the Soulages museum in Rodez (France) by RCR Arquitectes received last October 28 the First Prize in the PAEI Awards (Spanish Architecture Prize International 2015), in the form of architecture, awarded by the Superior Council of Colleges of Architects of Spain.
RCR creates telluric architecture which seems to be ejected by volcanoes around Olot. Made with materials of great expressiveness (Corten steel, natural stone deckle, concrete, large glass surfaces ...), its buildings blend into the landscape in which it sits, dematerializing the boundaries between interior and exterior for greater communion of their residents with nature. Models, sketches, various construction elements used in its buildings and audiovisual constitute part of the materials that make up this exhibition. Including drawings, sketches and watercolors play a major role in the project phases and realization of their buildings.
"This is the first exhibition of the three that will house the ICO Museum throughout the year 2016. We are confident that arouse much interest as those of previous years, as it is one of the Spanish architecture studies and most prestigious international projection. With 'RCR Arquitectes. Shared creativity' from ICO Museum, we continue to bring the whole of society the current Spanish architecture, which this year will pivot between Catalonia and Andalusia, where from October we will bring the work by Cruz y Ortiz from Seville", said Mónica de Linos, Fundación ICO director.
