José Zabala and Anne Hinz (ADDENDA ARCHITECTS) Loose Things.

Addenda Architects is a young collaborative architecture studio based in Barcelona formed by Roberto González, Anne Hinz, Cecilia Rodríguez, Arnau Sastre and José Zabala.

The studio was founded in 2015 and since then has collaborated with renowned cultural institutions such as KULeuven Ghent, Historisches Museum Frankfurt and the Chicago Architecture Biennial. The architects at Addenda have been awarded in national and international public competitions and recognized in various professional and cultural disciplines.

The studio also publishes its own architecture. It is currently carrying out an editorial project initiated by editor and independent art and architecture curator Moritz Küng and German photographers Joachim Brohm and Valentina Seidel. This periodic publication, called Bauhaus Dessau Museum Cahier, aims to document the construction process of the Museum until its opening in September 2019.

The architecture table

General public ... , 29.01.2015 - 17.12.2026

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Alicante whose collections are formed by works created fundamentally in the twentieth century. They range from the so-called avant-gardes to all the approaches and artistic manifestations that took place in the decades of the second half of the past century. They are expressed on different supports and materials, with diverse dimensions and techniques. In turn, the temporary exhibitions are related to these collections and allow for expanding or deepening some aspects of contemporary chronology. However, contemporary architecture is absent from both the permanent collections and those temporary manifestations.The architecture of the MACA itself, a project created and directed by the Sancho Madridejos Studio, is a beautiful building of great functional efficiency. The syncopated projection of horizontal and vertical spaces establishes a formal order based on the geometry and texture of the materials used in construction, while revealing a kind of tension resolved by the overhead passage of light, a kind of "felt" spirituality more emotional than real.The MACA proposes in a conversational format, meetings around art and architecture around the architect's table. In the MACA Library, the last Thursdays of each month, from January to May 2015.This first cycle will consist of different manifestations. The first and fundamental one will show works by an architect related through his vital and professional activity to the province of Alicante. The selection criterion will be conditioned by the modernity of the proposals, understanding that modernity, first of all, in a chronological sense, attending to those architectures and architects who were protagonists and participants in the advent of contemporaneity. The exhibition of some models will allow for offering three-dimensional models, reclaiming the model as such, as the authors of the Renaissance defended. And to illustrate the complete work process, sketches and preliminary drawings will be shown alongside the project plans and notes developed during the construction process. All of this with the ultimate aim of understanding and grasping in some way the constructed space.The architect's table, a table from 1912, real and present (deposited in the MACA by its owner Alfonso Navarro Guzmán), serves as an ideological foundation to link the exhibitions and will serve as the material support for the models so that we can traverse, while dreaming, the imagined space.
