architecture in the first person singular


And, if real estate could speak?

architecture in the first person singular


And, if real estate could speak?
It is a poetics of the citizen. Give buildings their own voice. In such a way that they said something about themselves.

With touches of humor, sometimes of philosophy, others. And so ... in a dialogue sui generis architecture and citizen.
It is an approximation in a metaphorical tone. A dialogue that, despite not being real, is in a figurative sense.
The deepest idea of this project is to reflect through these visual metaphors and fictitious dialogues, the importance of the architecture that is silenced. It is a touch and a wake-up call. Here's the value proposition.

It is a catalog of small corners of facades. It is the poetics of walking, as if the buildings spoke to the citizen, they are clothed with a life of their own.
For those who walk slowly; for those who lift their heads; for those with imagination; for those who enjoy talking; for those who do not feel alone when they walk

I have a book (still in project) where I have compiled this "poetics of strolling". I attach some examples

Naked: Sometimes I have to show my solid foundations

I'm at my boiling point ...

I am such a strong magnet that ... you will surely enter the building whether you want to or not

When you come to my house, please enter through the roof.
