This Monday, March 18th, MAI Dialogues presents Pablo Valbuena & Jaime Serra talks. 19.00hs, IaaC Auditorium.

Pablo Valbuena has become internationally recognized for his augmented architectures, dynamic forms where light and phisical structures combine to create a new hybrid language for form and space.
