The ¿Especular con el suelo¿ experience is a participative project. Nineteen users, including commercial companies, groups and individuals, are allocated a plot where they can be promoted, store objects or provide services. During the course of the exhibition the groups are able to negotiate the purchase, exchange or distribution of the uses of their plots. It will run until 26 November.
With this exhibition, the architect Cristina Maya intends to reflect the value of land, stressing the marketing suffered by urban space. A starting point to look for alternatives to the speculation that determines the urbanisation of our cities.
