Exhibition: Centenary of the Cante Jondo Competition

Exhibition: Centenary of the Cante Jondo Competition

Palace of Charles V, The Alhambra, Granada

Marta Pelegrín and Fernando Pérez, founders of MEDIOMUNDO arquitectos, were responsible for the design of the commemorative exhibition marking the Centenary of the Cante Jondo Competition, held in the halls of the Palace of Charles V at The Alhambra, Granada.

The project involved the creation of an integrated exhibition system, where the supports, scenography, and wooden display cases were conceived as a “temporary and recyclable structure”, in respectful dialogue with the historic architecture of the palace. The proposal included exhibition lighting and graphic design, creating an atmosphere that highlights the uniqueness of the original materials and the previously unseen documentation from the first Cante Jondo Competition, of exceptional heritage value.

MEDIOMUNDO arquitectos’ intervention is characterised by attention to detail, sustainable materials, and the ability to transform the space into a sensory and cultural experience, in line with the studio’s philosophy.

At MEDIOMUNDO, Marta Pelegrín and Fernando Pérez see design as a fundamental tool for innovative and sustainable urban transformation. Recently, we had the privilege of taking part in the international launch event for the World Design Capital Frankfurt RheinMain 2026, an occasion that brought together over 400 people and marked the beginning of a collective journey towards a more responsible and creative future.

Our participation was symbolised by signing the event’s panel, a gesture representing the shared commitment of all attendees to building a common horizon, where design acts as a driver of social, cultural, and urban change.

From MEDIOMUNDO, we celebrate the opportunity to be part of this international network and to contribute, through our experience and vision, to the creation of more liveable, inclusive, and sustainable urban environments.

Recognition and Commitment

At MEDIOMUNDO, Marta Pelegrín and Fernando Pérez understand architecture as a discipline committed to excellence, culture, and the recognition of exemplary careers. We are therefore proud to share that Marta Pelegrín served as a jury member for the 2024 Spanish Architecture Gold Medal, awarded to architect Josep Llinàs.

The award ceremony took place at the Teatro Reina Victoria in Madrid and the Royal Botanical Garden, both emblematic venues that highlight the value of the Landscape of Light, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This context reinforces the importance of architecture as a generator of identity, memory, and cultural landscape.

We congratulate all the awardees and celebrate the opportunity to contribute, from MEDIOMUNDO, to the recognition and dissemination of contemporary Spanish architecture, reaffirming our commitment to the profession and architectural culture.
