Anna Heringer returns

The architect Anna Heringer will be at the Museo ICO in Madrid on Wednesday 27 April from 9:00 to 14:00 showing her exhibition 'La belleza esencial'.

The exhibition 'Anna Heringer. La belleza esencial' is curated by Luis Fernández-Galiano and organised by the Fundación ICO.

This is the first monographic exhibition in Spain dedicated to Anna Heringer (Rosenheim, Germany, 1977), a visionary and multi-award-winning architect, with work on three continents, who is committed to the use of local materials and techniques to offer a better future. 

Her work is based on the exploration and use of architecture as a means of supporting local economies and promoting ecological balance. 

For her, "sustainability is synonymous with beauty, and what defines the aesthetic and sustainable value of a building is that it is in harmony with its design, structure, technique and use of materials, as well as in relation to its location, environment, user and socio-cultural context".

The ICO Museum, the only one in Spain specifically dedicated to the dissemination of architecture as an artistic and cultural discipline, was inaugurated on 28 March 1996, initially to exhibit the permanent collections of the Instituto de Crédito Oficial. Since 2012, the Fundación ICO has taken up the line centred on the field of architecture and urban planning for its temporary exhibitions. Around them, the ICO Museum develops educational activities aimed at children and young people, and guided and accompanied tours, aimed at adults, with the intention of deepening and completing its discourse.

Both free visits and the different activities are subject to compliance with current COVID-19 regulations, and all safety recommendations are respected to ensure that the experience is safe and satisfactory.
