Sol Camacho, cultural director of the Bardi Institute and curator of the exhibition, comments on its importance: “Like any architectural project, the built version is an evolution of ideas. The building had several versions before it materialized. Lina’s preliminary drawings show the volume main one as a large prism of concrete facades, different from what was built; in the same way the outdoor staircase appears as a helicoid in the sketches from the 50s”. The exhibition is a unique opportunity to learn about documents and information from the architect's rare collection. Also on display will be previously unseen models, photographs and original letters related to the MASP project.
