Obra Oberta al futur - Mateo Arquitectura

OBRA OBERTA AL FUTUR

On the occasion of the closing of the OBRA OBERTA exhibition, a roundtable discussion is being organized to reflect on the relationship between architecture and time—past, present, and future. The event proposes a dialogue on how architectural projects engage with memory, landscape, materiality, and resources, as well as on the open challenges posed by the future: sustainability, energy, territory, and the need for sensitive, inventive, and non-dogmatic responses.

“Our work has a specific relationship with time.
It always begins at a moment, in a present, from an intense gaze directed at a point in history, with the past present to a greater or lesser extent.
Yet the work opens itself to the future, and sometimes to a very distant future.
The presence of architecture from the past surrounds us and at times becomes part of who we are. Therefore, in a more or less conscious way, the future of our works may become part of a shared experience.

Speaking about the future is always complex and difficult. In a world in constant change, however, it seems especially necessary.
Certain questions, still imprecise, appear on the horizon.”
