Mansilla + Tuñón
The Spanish avant-garde comes
to Vicenza with an exhibition
on the architecture of Luis
Mansilla and Emilio Tuñón at
the Romanesque church of San
Silvestro until 22 February.
This
major anthology, curated by
Abacoarchitettura, presents an
in-depth look at the Madridbased
studio’s work carried
out between 1995 and 2008.
It features buildings such
as the Auditorium in León, a
monolithic building in white
concrete, and the coloured
and luminous Museo de Arte
Contemporáneo De Castilla y
León, which received the Mies
van der Rohe award in 2007 and
is described by the architects as
“a structure that develops from
an open system formed by a
fabric of squares and diamonds,
permitting the construction of a
secret geography of memory”.
They have also designed
the Automobile Museum, a
large cylinder reminiscent of
ancient Castilian fortresses,
to be built outside Madrid. E. S.
