would the painter or poet express anything other than his encounter
with the world“ – Maurice Merleau Ponty
of the modern movement has drawn the intellect and the sight, but
left aside the human body and it’s sensations – (…) – but also left
the memories and the dreams dislodged.” – Juhani Pallasmaa
work is based on Man meeting with himself and does so through the
senses.
Architecture has the ease of technological advances that everyday
flood the offices with new materials. However all these amenities
have achieved was for buildings to be deprived of presence, making
them the fruit of unbridled consumption, of the ostentation and many
times from the creator’s Ego. Today architecture is endowed with a
start system that dictates the trends as the world finds itself
grappling with political crises and austerity. All these components
have assembled an explosive cocktail when we look at the landscape of
cities only to realize that the concept of “inhabit” is degraded.
this work we aim to give back to Man, in any place of the World –
squares, gardens, glades, parking lots from big malls, etc – the
right of inhabit the planet without stratifications of any kind.
have done it by going back to the children’s imaginary, to the age of
dreams and curiosity and in a simple and pure way we created a
multitude of spaces that enable each one, in a singular way; to Be
and to think.
the image of the ordinary house we subtracted it’s mass as an
allegory to the present and to the reality we now live in; because
both rely on the way we gaze and feel them. It’s also a symbol of
change because the absence of mass gave to it a building site
character and also a lightness that emerged to oppose the image of
concrete boxes.
the space of the house we laid five boxes made of white concrete in
the exterior and black in the interior to keep the game of
oppositions.
wander through a synesthetic route that begins from North and ends to
Nascent. Through it we primarily find the purification volume that
intends to raise our vision and audition senses.
the following box we find the shadows, that symbolize the air. It is
aimed for the individual to question about the visually perceptible
truth and also for the visual experience to assume tactile
characteristics – feeling with the hand the form that is observed.
the pathways between the boxes we are at constant presence of the
soil, the nature, the use of the smell sense that refers to the
memories and to the quest of Man, through glades that were created
with the subtraction of the total volume.
a third moment the visitor is confronted with the light that
symbolizes the fire and the sense of feeling through the skin.
reestablished the equilibrium of the senses and the soul and mind
opened we find the last two spaces. One is a space with books and the
other with dialog, music and exchange for the house of Pink Floyd is
what each and every one of us want it to be.
this project we wish to return to Man a place for him to pulse with
the World, a space that appealed to solidarity and to the strength of
the use of words.
