THE WINDOW AND THE MIRROR

13.02.2015 – 22.03.2015
Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos. Museum of Estonian Architecture. Tallinn, Estonia
  
Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos is a renowned Spanish office who won last year the competition for the new building of the Arvo Pärt Centre, near Tallinn. Current exhibition gives to the Estonian audience the first insight of the work and creative process of Nieto
Sobejano. The new building of Pärt Centre is planned to be opened in Laulasmaa in 2018.
For this exhibition, 10 finished works of architecture were chosen and exhibited on large-scale photographs and detailed drawings.
The pictures express how the buildings relate to their surroundings and fit in with the space, using materials and light. The other element in the exhibition is a table with dioramas – a sort of laboratory for ideas consisting of architecture competition entries, models of built projects and projects that did not end up being built, also experiments that will never be built, but from which future work will sprout.

The authors themselves say that architecture is always an interpretation of many features that seem unconnected at first glance but which, oddly, start to bear a likeness to one another so that the projects reflect each other like an endless hall of mirrors.
The exhibition is part of the programme of Iberofest, festival of Iberoamerican culture.
