“Young Architects of Spain: A Window to the Unknown” features a generation of inspirational architects under 40 who show their talent through original and often inspirational projects. The exhibition contains 62 projects covering over 100 up-and-coming architects and teams of architects. The creators have three common characteristics: their youth, their interest for investigation and teaching, and an international focus of their career paths. “Dallas and Spain have a long history of cultural connections and it is particularly appropriate to focus on architecture as we near the completion of Santiago Calatrava’s newest wonder, the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge,” remarks Janet Kafka, Honorary Consul of Spain in Dallas. “The exhibition Young Architects of Spain is a striking collection of innovative architecture by a new generation of Spanish architects that is practicing architecture in an increasingly global context.”
Spanish architecture became a global point of reference over the last quarter of the 20th Century. After years of the influence of established architects like Santiago Calatrava, Rafael Moneo, Campo Baeza and Navarro Baldeweg, Spain is producing a large number of young and brilliant creators from the next generation. The main objective of the exhibition is to publicly recognize these architectural talents and to have them serve as an example for their generation. “Young Architects of Spain: A Window to the Unknown” began with a public and open announcement to young Spanish architects within and outside of Spain’s borders.
