MARCO: MUSEO DE ARTE CONTEMPORANEO DE MONTERREY
PRESENTS ENRIQUE NORTEN EXHIBITION
MONTERREY, MEXICO - The Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey
presents inTENtions, an exhibition that shows the development of the architectural
projects of the firm of this important, award-winning Mexican architect.
From the initial idea to the ribbon-cutting, the sketches, maquettes,
plans and projections of each building show the stages of gestation of
a new being, the processes and variations, formed through the suggested
feedback during its different phases, in which it adapts itself and adjusts
to the setting that it will occupy.
Architecture, being an endeavor of human creativity, has made a place
for itself within contemporary art by its use of forms and materials in
a search to satisfy the senses beyond a mere shelter.
TEN Arquitectos, the firm founded by Norten in 1986, characterizes itself
by favoring modernity and at the same time making use of tradition, both
in small-scale projects such as furniture designs to entire living, commercial
and urban spaces.
Along the way the firm has received numerous awards and recognitions that
acknowledge its talent, such as those that will be on view in this exhibition.
