‘Cruz y Ortiz buildings’ monographic Exhibition at GSD Harvard, Cambridge

PROJECT REPORT

The exhibition includes a sample of the most representative works of Cruz and Ortiz Architects since 1974, with the houses of Doña Maria Coronel of Seville, until 2002. The sample contains 18 projects developed on 6 large white tables in which original material is exhibited as sketches, drawings, models and photos of each of the projects. All the models are of small and similar size regardless of the scale of the buildings. Among the projects on display are the Rijksmuseum, the Santa Justa railway station in Seville and the SBB railway station in Basel, the Cartuja stadium in Seville, the Spanish Pavilion for the Expo2000 in Hannover, the Marine World Museum of the Doñana National Park, or the athletics stadium of the Community of Madrid, popularly known as "La Peineta". Cruz y Ortiz Arquitectos has designed throughout its trajectory all kinds of projects such as sports, residential, educational, cultural, transport, commercial, offices, etc., from the small to the large scale, new plant or intervening in existing buildings of heritage value. "Cruz and Ortiz Architects have always tried to show and demonstrate an idea or concept: the synthetic nature of architecture". Doña María Coronel, her first work, can already be considered as a whole declaration of intentions of what has been all the work of Cruz and Ortiz Architects since its inception ... a unitary architecture, in which the form becomes the element predominant.
