The two friezes are further enhanced by special lighting effects.

El proyecto del espacio del túmulo de Seró se expone en Suiza
Con el título de Space + Matter: Life + Place, la muestra recoge un total de 15 proyectos realizados en los últimos años y manifiesta la voluntad del estudio de arquitectura de responder con los medios estrictamente necesarios a los requerimientos planteados, poniendo en valor y activando las diferentes condiciones en relación a la habitabilidad en cada uno de los programas arquitectónicos materializados.
Paralelamente a la exposición, en una de las salas se muestra una selección de 132 dibujos de los cerca de 500 que el arquitecto ha realizado en los últimos 20 años en torno al tema "Cadaqués: dibujo y memoria".
El pasado 19 de julio, y como acto previo a la inauguración de la exposición, que se llevó a cabo un día después, Toni Gironés dio una conferencia en el S AM en la que introdujo los diferentes contenidos que fundamentan su trayectoria.
La exposición forma parte del ciclo Spatial Positions, con la que el museo suizo plantea una reflexión en torno a la arquitectura, su rol social y su relación con los espacios y las personas.
