Santiago de Compostela
changing the space
working with the point
We want them to discover how their homes connect to the city, reclaiming Leon Battista Alberti’s idea of understanding the house as a big city and the city as a small house; aswell as Aldo van Eyck expounds in his diagram of the tree and the leaf: “a tree is a leaf, a leaf is a tree. A house is a city, and the city a house”.
We will start from a common three-dimensional element: the globe. With it, basic compositions of three units will be performed in the first place. We intend to establish the concept of triangle as a non-deformable element so as to invade the spaces we want.
Color your city
The city/town we are working in has become a playground, an experimental laboratory in which children and teenagers can act from a new point of view.
