Primera muestra monográfica por el Museo ICO dedicada al estudio fundado por Anne Lacaton y Jean-Philippe Vassal, ganadores del Premio Pritzker de Arquitectura 2021. Bajo la premisa de “Nunca demoler, eliminar o sustituir, siempre añadir, transformar y reutilizar”, el estudio sintetiza su práctica arquitectónica y, con ello, sustenta el diseño de la exposición en tres partes: espacio libre, transformación y habiter.

Jaqueline Tyrwhitt Lecture
French architect Anne Lacaton delivered the inaugural Jaqueline Tyrwhitt Urban Design Lecture.
Anne Lacaton (1955, Saint-Pardoux, France) and Jean-Philippe Vassal met in the late 1970s during their formal architecture training at École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture et de Paysage de Bordeaux. They established Lacaton & Vassal in Paris (1987), and have since demonstrated boldness through their design of new buildings and transformative projects. For over three decades, they have designed private and social housing, cultural and academic institutions, public space, and urban strategies. The duo’s architecture reflects their advocacy of social justice and sustainability, by prioritizing a generosity of space and freedom of use through economical and ecological materials.
