"Working with the site instead of against it, the exhibition "Architecture is Cooperation," curated by Josep Ferrando, emphasizes the value of cooperation at the essence of architecture. Showcasing the work of professionals, organizations, and communities in cooperation projects driven from Spain, the installation takes shape through an exhibition design in earth and wood. The choice of these materials is understood not only from their aesthetic or symbolic qualities but also from their functionality and commitment to the principles of the circular economy."
"Organized by the General Directorate of Urban Agenda, Housing and Architecture of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda (MIVAU), the exhibition presents a series of cooperation projects with public and private funding seeking to respond to basic needs such as access to decent housing, essential services, and more. The objective lies in making visible examples of architects and communities working together through an architecture adapted to time and context, firm in its presence and light in its footprint."
The exhibition Architecture is Cooperation highlights cooperation as an essential aspect of architecture, presenting professionals, organizations, and communities engaged in projects originating in Spain. The installation uses earth and laminated wood chosen for functional performance and alignment with circular economy principles. Projects showcased aim to address basic needs such as decent housing and essential services through partnerships with public and private funding. The presentation stresses architecture adapted to time and context, present yet light in footprint, and respectful toward vulnerable societies and communities. Construction methods prioritize ephemeral and circular qualities, enabling dry assembly, disassembly, and reuse across contexts. The installation is on view at Casa de la Arquitectura in Madrid until September 30, 2025.
