The exhibition Jai Tech: Ábalos&Herreros selected by Juan José Castellón examines the way the tower typology manifests distinct, strategic approaches in the architecture of Ábalos&Herreros, a firm that operated in Madrid from 1984 until 2008. Objects presented include site plans, photomontages, models, floor plans, and photographs. The exhibition also features a selection of music connected to the working process of Ábalos&Herreros.

The exhibition results from guest curator Juan José Castellón’s focused immersion in the Ábalos&Herreros archives at the CCA. It is part of Out of the Box: Ábalos&Herreros.
