Architecture and Design from Spain

  1. Strengthening the collaboration with American institutions to create new opportunities for Spanish creators in the U.S.
  2. Supporting and developing Spanish design & architecture exhibitions and projects in collaboration with institutions on both sides of the Atlantic to highlight the work and architects and designers from Spain.
