Exhibition

This exhibit features sixty-two projects representative of a new generation of Spanish architects. Selected from an open call to Spanish architects under the age of forty, by an international jury of highly acclaimed architects, including Alberto Campo Baeza, Manual Blanco, and architectural critics Kenneth Frampton and Juhani Pallasma, this travelling exhibit shows the promising future of Spanish architecture.

YAS ends its North American tour at the new Paul H. Cocker Gallery in the Architecture Building at Ryerson University, 325 Church St. The exhibition opens with a lecture by one of the featured exhibitors, Anton García-Abril, on September 12, 2013 at 18:30 . There will be a reception immediately following the lecture at 19:30. The exhibit is open to the public and runs until October 4.

Lecture

Antón García-Abril, (Madrid, 1969) is a professor at the School of Architecture and Planning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.) He is also developing a doctoral thesis about “Stressed Mass” at the School of Civil Engineering of the Polytechnic University of Barcelona. He received the Spanish Academy Research Prize in Rome in 1996. He has been associate professor at the School of Architecture of the Polytechnic University of Madrid (E.T.S.A.M.-U.P.M.) for a decade, and an invited professor at the Graduate School of Design of Harvard University (2010) and Cornell University (2008).

In 2000 he established ENSAMBLE STUDIO, leading, together with his partner Débora Mesa, a cross-functional team with a solid research background. The team is on the lookout for new approaches to architectonical space, building technologies and urban strategies. Their built projects are exposed structures that explore the essence of materials to create space. His lecture is entitled “Recent Work” and will be held on September 12, 2013 at 18:30 at 325 Church Street, Toronto, ON.
