Members of Arquitectura-G celebrate “almost 10 years” with a conference at the Cooper Union Architecture University and an exhibition in New York

On Friday 8 April, members of Arquitectura-G, professors and alumni from the UIC Barcelona School of Architecture gave a talk entitled “Almost 10 years” in The Cooper Union Architecture University in New York.

This overview of their past history covered their beginnings when they rented a location to finish their final degree projects to when they received recognition from the Mies van der Rohe Foundation for their Casa Luz project. Through their projects, which include refurbishing apartments, exhibitions and window displays, they talked about the guiding principles behind their work, and the characteristics and strategies their different projects have shared, in terms of form, concept and materiality. This same talk was also given at the UIC Barcelona School of Architecture, in February, as part of this year’s Foros series.

Likewise, they also held an event in conjunction with Apartamento Magazine, in the Patrick Parrish Gallery in New York, which involved an exhibition of the work they have undertaken over the past ten years.
