We talked to the architect, an expert in urbanism and urban planning, about the challenges of this little-known but no less important discipline.

On the occasion of Architecture Month and within the framework of the Open House Madrid and COAM's Architecture Week festivals, ART U READY presents an exhibition with urbanism as the focus, from the point of view of a group of transversal artists, very committed to architecture and the city.

With fifteen years of experience and a scholarship from the Spanish Academy in Rome in 2018, the photographer Juan Baraja (Toledo, 1984), with a studio in Madrid, has worked and exhibited for leading art foundations, including the ICO Museum, where he himself was immersed in the work of his masters. He scrutinises the textures and details of architecture, one of his greatest passions, and captures them through intimate and suggestive projects. He is currently exhibiting his project Norlandia, an analysis of the fishing sector in Iceland, at the RAC Foundation in Pontevedra until 28 May, and talks to The Sibarist about his meticulous work and his interesting creative journey.
