Hortencia Mata House / Temporal Arquitectura

This project considers architecture as a physical act, coinciding with what Helio Piñón clearly states in his writing “proyectar es construir” where he points out that when building a project, one must not only refer to its material constructive logic but also to its formal logic. That is to say, it is not only the building technique that guarantees the material consistency and predicts the permanence of the projects, but it is also the visual relationship between the constituent elements of the work, which is an essential objective of the project. Therefore, we work with the manipulation of physical characteristics both for support and protection from the climatic agents of nature. In their arrangement, they make up the architectural space for the purpose of human habitat.
