UAM and 50 years of history

The Autonomous University of Madrid celebrates its 50th anniversary jubilantly. Many activities and events has been organized to remember the social values that guide the progress of this prestigious university.

Between the organized events we can find the exhibition “Universidad Autónoma de Madrid: 50 años haciendo futuro” that has place in the CentroCentro space of Palacio de Cibeles of Madrid between november and december of 2018. At this exhibition you can travel through the history and the vanguardist proposals of this institution. Twelve content blocks give shape to this vibrant experience which speaks about solidarity, our environment, technology and society.

1000 m2 of modular display panels

At Cartonlab we had the opportunity to develop the structural design and production of this great project. This is one of the many examples of exhibition designs made with cardboard of Cartonlab.

Featured assistants

The exhibition has been enjoyed by many assistants. We can name some of them like Manuela Carmena, the mayoress of Madrid, Felipe VI, king of Spain, José Guirao, culture and sport minister, and Rafael Garesse, current UAM rector.
