Rather than focusing on traditional blueprints and physical models, it utilized multimedia and immersive installations to highlight the global reach of Spanish architectural firms.

This research project had the immense gratitude to be able to place the works of Abelardo Lafuente (1917) in China between the works of Rafael Guastavino (1909) in USA and Josep Lluis Sert (1955) in Iraq.

Back then, the 2019 Dissertation about his work had not yet been started to be produced by Alvaro Leonardo, and the information showcased was extracted from the "Revista Babelia" Article from El País Newspaper in 2011.

It was another step forward to recognize his unknown work in Spain through the academic environment in Madrid.
