Tu poses el cos. Jo poso la pell. Vincles entre arquitectura i disseny gràfic

Architecture is the body of the city. Graphic design is its skin. We contemplate the built space as a lived space where architecture and graphic design meet to make new relationships germinate and create city. Like a body that needs a skin, like a skin that needs a body.The exhibition Tu poses el cos. Jo poso la pell traces the links between two creative disciplines and techniques that decisively contribute to creating the city, in a physical sense but, above all, in terms of identity, image and meaning.As the Finnish architect Juhani Pallasmaa has written, "architectural space is lived space rather than physical space". The exhibition regards this "lived space" as the place where architecture and graphic design meet. Often amicably, other times in a clash, but always with the result of bringing forth new realities that become part of the identity of the city and the experience of its inhabitants.Tu poses el cos. Jo poso la pell proposes a journey through images that are iconic of the relationship between architecture and graphic design in the specific space of Barcelona. This visual content, which is partly historical, partly current, partly real and partly speculative, is structured into six chapters that suggest different forms of connection. From typography applied to the built space to visual communication as a way of shaping architectural identity. From the most brilliant moments of the alliance between graphic designers and architects to the aspiration of bringing, through visual design, conditions to increase the well-being of those who use and live in the city.Curated by Clara Mas and Albert Lopez-Amor, professionals in the field of design and communication history, the exhibition starts from the perspective of graphic design (the "I") when addressing architecture (the "you"). For this reason, most of the works included belong to the professional production of graphic designers. Some works have been commissioned specifically for the occasion. The content includes historical names such as Josep Pla-Narbona, Ricard Giralt Miracle, Toni Miserachs, Lluís Casals, Francesc Català-Roca or América Sanchez, and active designers such as Laura Meseguer, Xavier Bas, Frederic Perers, Brosmind, Xavier Mariscal, Enric Jardí, Raül Goñi or Anaïs Esmerado, among others.
