From Roman structures such as the aqueduct at Segovia or Alcántara Bridge to technological feats such as the Whirlpool Aero Car at Niagara Falls, Juanelo Turriano’s mysterious artifice, the futuristic ‘Buda’ lighthouse or the earliest underground lines at Puerta del Sol station, the exhibition Historic mock-ups and scale models. Engineering and construction constitutes a journey across 2000 years of Spanish and European engineering.
Over 40 unique seventeenth to twentieth century scale models of historic architectural and engineering works are on display in the showing, curated by Fundación Juanelo Turriano and open to the public from 7 June to 17 September 2017 at Madrid’s Centro Conde Duque.
