The curatorial concept will be organized around themes specific to both fields, including structure and surface, deconstruction and unveiling and spatial dynamics and urban identities. The exhibition design will penetrate multiple levels in the Center, connecting the galleries through a fluid cabling system that will weave the exhibition elements together.
