House 22 Nola - Cachipay 2024

« " of 7 " »

DESCRIPTION

Ethics, in principle, is to consider the other: the body of water that is in front, the soil and their microscopic inhabitants, the morning and afternoon light, the ability of a tree to pass through a space without altering the nest of a bird, or to own the best conditions to look at the sky between canopies.

As a physical phenomenon, architecture can empower the imaginary. To begin, we wonder if in the language of the great stones that exist are the best conditions to interact with all the elements of a landscape.

In the Nola House, in Cachipay, the answer is in the balance that arises between the need to adapt to the environment and the desire to work with the available energy. An architecture with specific weight, without picturesqueness, which is left to go through the elements and the strength of the environment. A pact with the simpleness.

Raising, lowering, floating, lying down, entering or exiting. We are looking to talk about the relative positions of the body. In the construction of this idea, there is an aware preconception of movement and natural order: moving around the large stone, confined in a large annealed clay mass, walking on ceilings, being extended by the terrace.

Architecture has a certain charm to the extent that is left to inhabit both by the elements and people. When it understands the space as a sequence, transit, and pause. When, sometimes unconsciously, the constructive facts respond to the geography of the place, to its light rhythms, to the presence of water, to the possibility of nature to pass through it without resistance.
