Conversations on Interior Design with architect Germán Velasco, leader of Germán Velasco Arquitectos, a firm dedicated to the architecture and interior design of hotels, restaurants, and residences.

In A Scientific Autobiography, originally published in 1981 by Aldo Rossi—who would go on to win the Pritzker Prize nine years later—we find a reflection, or rather a compendium of reflections, on his professional thought process, shaped by the experiences and events of his youth.

The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, better known as COVID-19, has fundamentally altered our reality as a society—both in our daily lives and in the future we will build as we adapt to the current situation. Our public spaces are the first to prompt us to question how interaction and community will function within our cities and living environments. For this eighth edition of the Abierto, we seek to understand how the pandemic will transform our public spaces, how our social, economic, and political relationships will be redefined in light of the current global situation, and how creators, managers, authorities, and citizens perceive these spaces and this relationship.

This is a space where architecture emerges from the defense of our individual bodies, blending the caution and precision of preventive medicine with the boundlessness of art. The goal is to spark creative acts that yield solutions—using materials at hand—to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 while outside our homes: building an anti-body.

Architecture Lessons from a Distance: Virtual Lecture by Ricardo Daza

The Leopoldo Rother Architecture Museum invites you to the virtual lecture "Bodies (Rooms), Doors, and Corridors (in Times of Lockdown)" and "A Brief Tribute to Robin Evans and the Relevance of Raphael Sanzio."

Camping is a tourism model based on humanity's most primal way of inhabiting nature: itinerancy. Nomads settle on the land without physically altering it, yet they imbue it with meanings that forge connections to the occupied sites, both while traveling and at rest. This mobile habitat originates from the need to find shelter and food, but also from the desire to discover new cultures or places. Thus, vacation life—free and carefree—intensifies interpersonal relationships and allows for experimentation with new ways of communal living.

The work of Jesús de la Sota, known primarily for his furniture designs—which often complemented the buildings of renowned architects, such as his older brother Alejandro de la Sota—represents a unique case within 20th-century Spanish design. He was consistently distinguished by his elegant sobriety, brilliant refinement, and clean, powerful lines. He experimented across many diverse creative fields: as a painter, muralist, illustrator, draftsman, and graphic designer, he created chairs, armchairs, tables, and lamps, as well as books, fabrics, and tapestries, all in an attempt to unite utility and beauty in every sphere of daily life. He launched the firm Cores y Sota, a comprehensive interior design project capable of generating architecture from a small scale, in a constant search for the essential and the minimal.
