The sample can be visited at conference room 5 on floor -1 of the Museum, where two videos showing the work of the selected photographers from Mexico and Ecuador are projected.
The photographysample linked to the VI Biennial of Latin American Architecture (BAL), held in September in Pamplona, can be visited until November 3 at conference room 5 on floor -1 of the University of Navarra Museum. The exhibition sample two videos that bring together the work of the selected photographers: Lorena Darquea, from Ecuador, and Patrick Lopez Jaimes, Onnis Luque and Marisol Paredes, from Mexico.
The Biennial of Latin American Architecture is an initiative of the group of research AS20 of the School of Architecture of the University of Navarra, and seeks "to be a channel for presenting in Spain recent and outstanding examples of young architects from the other side of the ocean", as well as "to generate a forum in which to strengthen ties, shorten distances and establish a solid and firm counterpoint to the Anglo-Saxon universe", explains the organization.
In this sixth edition, held September 24-27 at School of Architecture and Baluarte, Uruguay was the guest country. For its part, exhibition de Fotografías de Arquitectura de Latinoamérica took place for the first time in 2017 as a complement to the exhibitions of the biennial itself. This is its second edition. "We are excited to think that this sample of photography will become another small link between Spain and Latin America, which will also serve us to know better those societies, their richness and illusions," values José Manuel Pozo, professor at the School of Architecture and member of the organization.
Regarding the current edition of the photographic sample , he explains that "it allows us to continue to touch the Latin American architectural reality, from a less canonical prism and closer to a current situation far removed from media models". Specifically, he highlights that "together with the brilliant set of photographs by Marisol Paredes and Lorena Darquea, which represent a sample of work rigorous and specialized architectural photography of the highest level, we find the work of Onnis Luque and Patrick Lopez, who develop a visual narrative that transits in both cases intermediate places, undefined, unfinished, in which we strangely find beauty.
