'YAS': Young Architects of Spain

'YAS': Young Architects of Spain

A major exhibit showcasing the extraordinary work of several emerging Spanish architects whose designs made their nation a global point of architectural reference by the end of the 20th century.

The exhibit highlights how architectural excellence is being produced by a new generation of professionals, not just by internationally renowned Spanish maestros, ensuring a promising future for Spanish architecture.

The traveling exhibition includes 62 original projects from more than 100 up-and-coming architects and teams of architects displaying a variety of rigorously constructed work that is deeply sensitive to its culture and natural environment with an overriding focus on sustainable architecture for a sustainable world.

The exhibition, which has already been on display in New York, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Dallas, Houston and Brussels, is the result of a public competition opened to all young Spanish architects. An international jury of prestigious architects including Manuel Blanco and Campo Baeza and architecture critics Kenneth Frampton and Juhnani Pallasma selected the exhibit’s work from more than 700 submitted projects.

Opening lecture:

A lecture by Miguel Roldán, director of the College of Architecture’s Spanish study abroad program and founding partner of award-winning, Barcelona-based R+B Architects, will launch the exhibit 5:30 p.m. Nov. 6 in the Preston Geren Auditorium, which is located in the Langford Architecture Center's building B.

Jesús Aparicio and Jesus Donaire, the curators of the traveling exhibit, and Jorge Vanegas, dean of the college, will also speak at the opening, which concludes with a reception in the Wright Gallery.

Opening: November 6th at 5:30 pm at the Preston Geren Auditorium.
