Galeria Joan Prats presents Footprints, the first exhibition by architect Josep Lluís Mateo. Through a selection of completed works and projects, the exhibition explores Mateo’s career in a non-chronological manner, seeking ways to narrate architecture through the themes inherent to his practice. Mateo’s architecture is characterized by a modernist legacy, focusing on the pursuit of light, an intense dialogue with context, and a connection between idea and material. His projects are thoughtful and strategic; they speak to space and carefully balance the relationship between the mineral and the vegetal.
