Architecture

This exhibition by the Basurama Architects collective invites visitors to approach, interact with, and manipulate different objects, games, instruments, and other utensils, turning the exhibition spaces into centers of participation and engagement for audiences of all ages with waste and reuse. The exhibition is therefore playful and interactive, but also educational. In fact, visitors have DIY explanatory sheets in the form of instruction manuals to develop some of the pieces on display at home.

This exhibition was the main exhibition of the Second Edition of MUGAK; the Basque Country International Architecture Biennial. The exhibition highlights the artistic and heritage contributions of the Ulm School of Architecture—founded in 1953 in that German city—a center that researched and developed urban planning, industrial architecture, product design, graphic design, and communication during the 1950s and 60s. It was a continuation and development of the Bauhaus Weimar-Dessau-Berlin, whose centenary is being celebrated this year. In fact, Ulm's first rector was Max Bill, a Swiss artist, architect, and designer who was also a Bauhaus.
