Grafton Architects’ exhibition examines the potential of architecture in the city of Lima, where the firm has won a competition for a new university campus, UTEC. It includes comparative images of Skellig Michael and Machu Picchu and representations of Mendes da Rocha’s football stadium, Serra Dourada as reference for their idea for the university as an ‘arena of learning’. The exhibition also includes models in collaboration with sculptor Eileen Mac Donagh.
