Seny i rauxa News of Catalan Architecture Disseny Hub Barcelona
An exhibition that offers a broad and evocative journey through recent Catalan architecture, highlighting its richness, diversity and historical continuity. The narrative is built around an unbroken thread linking the founding of the School of Architecture in 1875 with contemporary practices and sensibilities, spanning generations, styles and shifting contexts. The exhibition moves away from a chronological reading in favour of a thematic structure that invites visitors to observe, engage in dialogue and compare works from different periods. The itinerary, on view at the Disseny Hub Barcelona, brings together sketches, plans, models and photographs that reveal the architectural creative process, often invisible to the general public, and is enriched by artistic and design works that build bridges between disciplines and visual languages. With around four hundred pieces, the exhibition offers a choral vision that understands architecture as a living organism, where seny and rauxa coexist to shape collective identity and imagine new ways of inhabiting the future.
