Fractal, Geometry, Territory.Abstract
One of the most important lessons of the White Chair with Carlos Ferrater and Alberto Peñín, was how to find strategies to synchronize with the landscape through geometry.
This way of understanding architecture has matured over time along with the projects, from a small nursery in the Alamús, Lleida, to a hotel in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil through a high-rise market in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Still in this process, which as a fractal is still open, it is proposed each project seeks to find ways of doing Architecture that can improve the relationship between the communities and their environment. Fractal geometry has its origin in the ancestral knowledge of the territories where it is projected and serves us to incorporate in a contemporary way the tradition, the local culture and the existing resources, seeking through Architecture a better relationship between us and nature.
