On Tuesday, May 11th, Mr. Guallart will make a presentation and it will be followed by an openpanel discussion with other significant figures about urban planning and architecture. GEOLOGICS is an exhibit that shows how Vicente Guallart and is exploring the future of architecture. His goal is to create an architecture that beautifies and functions together with the geographical environment in which he is building. In other words, he creates an architecture that maintains the natural order of the Earth.

The exhibition will have a special focus on SOCIOPOLS, a project of Vicente and his international team of architects. SOCIOPOLIS is a residential urban planning project with the goal of constructing a new model neighbourhood of accessible housing, in line with the modern tradition of investigating and proposing new habitable environments that reflect the social reality of the time. The project strives to build a neighbourhood with adequate housing for the modern family while at the same time protecting the historical and environmental importance of the neighbourhood.
