Curated by Fernanda Canales, Habitar España offers a fifty-year overview of residential architecture — from 1975 to 2025 — through one hundred projects that show how housing has imagined worlds of its own that also belong to others. Organized across five decades, the exhibition brings together models and both built and unbuilt projects to reveal the ideals, tensions, and lessons that have shaped domestic life in Spain and its international influence.
The exhibition design, created by clarasolamorales studio, presents the models suspended over a continuous, ribbon-like surface that underscores the idea that every residential work, no matter how singular, forms part of a shared fabric. Bedroom, an installation by Isidro Blasco, along with the pieces displayed in the mezzanine, expands the narrative with reflections on everyday life and the pressing need for affordable housing.
Featuring projects from every autonomous community and with a majority of female authorship, Habitar España highlights a common thread: the desire to ensure that more people can live better.
