This exhibition showcases the work of French architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal, recipients of the 2021 Pritzker Prize. It explores their architectural philosophy through three core concepts: free space, transformation, and inhabitation, highlighting their approach to sustainable and user-focused design.
The Museo ICO presents 'Lacaton & Vassal. Espacio libre, transformación, habiter,' an exhibition charting the career of renowned French architects Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal, who were awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize in 2021. Their architectural ethos, summarized by the principle 'Never demolish, eliminate or replace, always add, transform and reuse,' is central to the exhibition. Visitors will gain insight into their approach, which prioritizes expanding and enhancing daily uses of space, always aiming for generosity, efficiency, and user well-being. The exhibition spans over three decades of their work, from their early straw hut in Niamey to significant projects like the housing in Grand Parc. It delves into their conception of architecture through the fundamental concepts of 'free space'—defined by spatial generosity, efficiency, and comfort—'transformation'—emphasizing additions and adaptations rather than demolition—and 'habiter'—focusing on life, uses, and appropriation of spaces. The exhibition highlights their commitment to creating more ecological, larger, and freer spaces that significantly improve the quality of life for inhabitants.
Entry to the exhibition at Museo ICO is free. Visitors can find practical information for their visit, including opening hours and location, on the museum's website.
