Installation view of Storm at the Norman Foster Foundation Pavilion
Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle's sculpture Storm in on permanent display at the newly opened Norman Foster Foundation in Madrid. The work is featured in the building's Pavilion, which will serve as an exhibition space for objects and audio visual materials of projects, places, people, sculptures and paintings with the objective to provide inspiration to the foundation's visitors in the same way that they once inspired Norman Foster and his work.
The headquarters of the Foundation are located in a former palace designed by the celebrated architect Joaquín de Saldaña in 1912 for the Duke of Plasencia. The building served as the Embassy of Turkey for fifty years beginning in the 1930s and more recently functioned as the headquarters of a major Spanish bank. The Foundation now serves as an exhibition space, archive and library with the mission to promote interdisciplinary thinking and research to help new generations of architects, designers and urbanists to anticipate the future.
