2014 edition of FreshMadrid, regarding many of the architecture studios that have had to emigrate to seek opportunities outside Spain.
  FRESHMADRID has emerged out of a new attitude and a novel approach to architecture projects, their challenges and the limits of the discourse around the discipline by professionals trained at ETSAM from the late 90s until the early 2000s. Their discourse is one that does not discriminate against cultural, geographic or thematic origins.
FRESHMADRID STAYING ALIVE? was presented at Matadero Madrid in 2013 to question and analyse the successes, expectations and weak points of the FRESHMADRID platform within the context of the need to redefine the young architecture studios in contemporary Madrid.   Against the backdrop of the current social, political and economic crisis, and the ensuing need to redefine the profession, many of the studios arising out of FreshMadrid have had to emigrate to seek opportunities outside Spain. It is important that we trace the paths taken by some of the players, and we must briefly reflect on the validity of these courses of action that take account of the new reality which, although far from ideal, is optimistic. We have called this FRESH-ABROAD.
