Description:
The project series documents the competition entry for the development of the International fair of the South, in the municipality of Getafe, Spain. The firm identified this project as number 159a. “The project puts the emphasis on two esencial [sic] questions: on the one hand a system which allows to resolve the fair’s pavillons simple and elegantly joining criteria of light, structure and water in a system of constructive rationality and average economy. On the other han[d a]n organization of the public and constructed space in phases which allow to understand the technology area of the south as something complete and shaped since the first of them has been developed. The proposed exhibition pavillions [sic] come from a technical reasoning based in the balance of structural width, central light and drainage of the roof, a result of several projects of similar scale which the office has developed in the last years.” (ARCH270975) Abalos & Herreros initially grouped this project with the competition Fira 2000 - Barcelona (AP164.S1.2002.D14). Documenting the project are presentation drawings, project descriptions, correspondence, studies, competition documents and specifications.

The project series documents an open competition. Abalos & Herreros, in collaboration with Queca Ortiz and Empty, S.L., won second place for their design. The firm identified this project as number 115. The intention of their entry was to “[…] answer to the task with an authentic installation, a mellowed and independent equipment independent of the container, which absolutely never provokes a conflict or pretends to improve it, which accepts the value of its configuration and extracts the maximum possibilities of the spatial qualities that the intervention has pretended to enhance. Therefore, it is pretended to develop a program which adds an offer of pedagogic-cultural piece of the town to the basic spaces of the museum. The challenge is to make people live together with the scientific aspects, which interests the cultivated popular-pedagogy visitor, connoisseurs of, and which acts with the intention of excinting, surprising and attracting attention of a mostly youthful and infantile audience. […] The museum’s basic program is completed with temporary exhibition halls, library, lecture room and didactic workshops, assembly hall, café, gift shop and offices.” (ARCH270975) Documenting this project are digital and reference materials, project descriptions, and specifications.
