Marta Pelegrín and Fernando Pérez, founders of MEDIOMUNDO arquitectos, took part in the reopening of the Deutsches Architektur Museum (DAM) in Frankfurt, an international reference point for reflection and dissemination of contemporary architectural culture. The building, designed by Oswald Mathias Ungers, has recently been restored and adapted to host new exhibitions under the direction of Peter Cachola Schmal and Andrea Jürgen.
In this new phase, the museum showcases a selection of 41 emblematic objects from its archives, such as the aluminium containers from the Frankfurter Küche by Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky, the original newspaper-leaflet from the 1984 opening, and the suitcase-model of the collaborative housing project by BaR Architekten, which allowed cooperative members to adjust the proposal in a practical way.
The exhibition “Stadt für alle: City for All” presents, through an assemblage of urban archetypes, a multiplicity of images and perspectives that invite visitors to reflect on their level of involvement in decisions regarding infrastructure, housing, and public space design.
MEDIOMUNDO’s presence at this international event reinforces their commitment to research, participation in cultural networks, and a critical perspective on urban transformation processes. Additionally, Marta Pelegrín-Rodríguez is part of the museum’s friends’ team, as listed among the featured collaborators.
