Architecture and Urban Series | Spring 2011

 

In the fall of 2010, the Instituto Cervantes of Chicago with MAS Studio established an ongoing architecture and urban lecture series with the goal of establishing a cultural connection between the architectural discipline in Europe and the US.

In the second edition of the series, we brought the exhibition Young Architects of Spain: A Window to the Unknown, which showcased the work of sixty-two emerging architecture offices in Spain. To accompany the exhibition, Enrique Sobejano, founding partner of Nieto Sobejano Architects, and Antón García-Abril, founding partner of Ensamble Studio, lectured about their work. Both offices are at the forefront of a new generation of Spanish architects with critically acclaimed and award-winning buildings. Completing the program, Studio IDE, Strawn.Sierralta, and PORT Architecture + Urbanism, three of the most innovative and active architecture studios in Chicago lead by designers in their early 30s, presented their work and discussed the challenges and opportunities they face.
