Its hilarious how while studying this is something we tried to do... Cause we are told dont speak about the process too much... speak more about the themes and outcomes and throw in some process
Ironically, you didn't mention the project name or architect. CASA 1736 by H ARQUITECTES (great studio, check them out!!). Great video; nonetheless, I agree. The language architects use annoys me. I love architects that show the process (HERZOG HERZOG HERZOG). It's almost like they have that anxiety that was created in school by tutors belittling students for choices they don't like and/or understand. If they explained their choices, you probably would see why the back of the property is the way it is. Also, this is in Barcelona, so maybe the choices are cultural? As a European, a lot of the choices make sense to me.
The plan and sections appear to be well designed and have a nice Feng Shui harmonious flow. However, the elevations do not translate well from the plan to 3D. The walls are sharp edges, static, and sterile. Some plants and flowers could add warmth. The stone work is beautiful! Overall, the architectural interiors are more art installation or a boutique AirBnB. It is a crisp design, IMO.
Hey mooch hope you well missing the discord... cause i been gone I think they use the word "Pour" to distinguish from Cast... so as the reconnect the action of making concrete back to the older ways of doing it with small slip casts and not formwork Similar to why they chose it for the walls. Cast concrete = large scale barren industrial nature. Pouring and layering = human scale reminiscent of both brick and the layers in soil Similar to the walls of caves when you excavate, which tiles back to excavating the central core form the original house... Aka Jargon lols
Hey man! I haven't been on the Discord in a while either. It was actually "Poor" that they wrote out. Your description is spot on though, and I agree with it.
