The exhibition, created by Casa Árabe and the Superior Council of Architects’ Associations of Spain (CSCAE) is a display of projects by Spanish architecture companies and studios carried out in Arab countries. The result is a fine example of successful work for international expansion, which makes a huge contribution to positioning and strengthening the Spain Brand abroad. 

The projects included in this exhibition are the result of thorough, constant work over a long time period, which is beginning to bear its fruits thanks to the industry’s excellence and its high-quality services. Most notable amongst these are the works by renowned architecture studios such as Nieto Sobejano, Fenwick Irribarren, Lamela, César Ruiz Larrea, Rafael de la Hoz and Campo Baeza; as well as a series of younger studios that have committed to internationalization in the Arab world, as is the case with AGi Architects, Hadit and AV62. At the same time, also represented are some of the most important Spanish engineering companies, such as Alatec, Sener, Idom and TYPSA, all with a presence in the region for several decades.     

Although this relationship between our architecture and the Arab world goes far back in time, today it is taking on special relevance due to the economic environment we are currently living in. This exhibition not only intends to provide acknowledgment for the work done by our professionals abroad, upholding such important values as competitiveness and creativity, but is also meant to draw attention to the potential held by the regions of North Africa and the Middle East for this industry.

At the exhibition website you will find all of the details on the projects.
