The project for the new iGuzzini Illuminazione España S.A. has been a dynamic process, from the first competition proposals till the final constructive definitions. In order to imagine even the smallest detail of a building where the complexity is hidden underneath an apparent simplicity, or in a structural and architectural coherence, models have been the building rehearsal in a smaller scale, where new possibilities are discovered and intentions are checked. In 2008, an exhibition was commissioned in the Architects’ Association in Barcelona, showing the models of this physical project process. A series of showcases containing models as if they were animals in an aquarium occupied temporarily the exhibition space in the Association headquarters in Plaça de la Catedral in Barcelona. Similarly, an enormous metallic model colonised the upper plinth of the building during the exhibition. With the aim to illustrate this exhibition, this catalogue was published.
