Based on four concepts, MIAS Universe explains the conceptual and constructive evolution of the studio’s most emblematic projects through drawings, collages, engravings, sketches and models. Oneiric Spaces, Assemblage, Archive and Finishing are the concepts that articulate the work of MIAS and its trajectory since its foundation in 2000.

With Contributions of Peter Cook, Archigram Founder; Bob Sheil, Bartlett Director; and Josep Miàs, MIAS founder & director.
