PROCESS

"The strength of a good project lies in ourselves and in our ability to perceive the world with both emotion and reason. A good architectural design is sensuous. A good architectural project is intelligent."
Peter Zumthor

MY WAY TOWARDS ARCHITECTURE. Discovering Auguste Renoir’s Woman with a Parasol in a Garden and Claude Monet’s Water Lilies changed my understanding of colour and light. Impressionists, and then the Young Poland period: Malczewski, Wyspiański, Wyczółkowski; all of them ignited my great passion. Beksiński’s creativity and his living cathedrals. Finally, depth that implies shape; that’s what cemented my decision to choose architecture.

INSPIRATIONS: Peter Zumthor: sensuality, silence, camouflage; Itami Jun: sensitivity, respect for nature, Water, Wind and Stone Museum; Tadao Ando: Meditation Space, Unesco; Massimiliano Fuksas: Maison des Arts, Bordeaux; Rem Koolhaas: Maison à Bordeaux; Tatiana Bilbao: nature and geometry, activity and inertia of mirrored Los Terrenos; Walter Gropius: Bauhaus, Modernism; Mies van de Rohe, Richard Neutra: open floor plans; Philip Johnson: form, colour; Louis Sullivan: arches, details.
