Event Details : The Embassy of Spain in New Delhi, in collaboration with the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) and the Ministry of Housing in Spain, presents Architecture without Paper in Instituto Cervantes.
Architecture without paper is an extraordinary selection, in an audiovisual format, from these Venetian exhibitions, curated by the architects Soledad del Pino and Ángel Fernández Alba. This exhibition aims to show the innovation and quality of the work being carried out on the Spanish scene today, represented by 15 young architecture studios that typify a fully consolidated, global “virtual architectural reality”. Their projects put the spotlight on a fresh, avant-garde architecture, one that serves the ensibilities and needs of society.
The works presented on the one hand argue for and promote building as a distinguishing feature of Spanish architecture and, on the other, as a way of introducing poetry into architecture, on a path towards architecture without paper.
The origin of architecture lies in both drawing and construction, and the doodle seen as a slow representation of the sketch is the origin of the project as a record of thought.
This shorthand of visual language, when it is transferred and converted in to the digital world, leads to the loss of the paper format which for decades gave rise to a trend as influential as the architecture of paper against built architecture.
The architects grouped under the title of Architecture without paper do not constitute a complete or a highly structured anthology of young – or young at heart – Spanish architecture, but nor do they really need to. Suffice it to know that, within the certain randomness inevitable in their grouping, they are, nevertheless representative. And as can be see in their work – without paper – they have a common feature. All of them, evidently, have accepted the challenge of their contemporary nature. That is to say, they have had to accept, willingly or not – we presume the former – that their architecture is no longer in the same place as that of their elders. That their work is linked to an avantgarde nature in order to represent, one way or another, the superseding of the modern movement and its tradition. They are no longer mannerists of modernity but, on the contrary, they aspire to belong to another phase, an unmistakably new one.
The present collection of works is also closely related to architecture from other countries, in the common endeavor to advance beyond the tradition of the 20th century, over and above the consideration of whether this goal seems reasonable, or even feasible.
