Querido Juan,
"Nosotros éramos heterodoxos, se hablaba de las dos
tendencias: la influencia de los nórdicos en Fisac y el
grupo de seguidores de Mies; Oiza, Romany…
Wright tenía bastante influencia en Ramón, le
impresionó mucho la gran exposición en Italia.
Ramón siempre hablaba de ello… Yo nunca he querido
ser erudito, me reía de ellos". [J.A. Corrales]

Dear David,
A beautiful contemporary picture postcard of the
impressive Boulingrin Halls interior space. Luckily
the building was saved and beautifully restored in
2012 after many years of decay.

Dear Robert,
"I sense Light as the giver of all presences, and material
as spent Light. What is made by Light cast a shadow,
and the shadow belongs to Light" (Louis I. Kahn)

Querida Patricia,
"Entender la ciudad como resultado de un proceso
evolutivo de un ser diverso ayuda a pensar que toda
intervención y edificio no es un elemento autónomo
sino uno que debe integrarse en ella" (Rafael Moneo)

2020. Forum 3, Novartis Campus, Basel
Dear Peter,
"The façade, designed by Helmut Federle,
transposes the overlay structure characteristic
of his paintings and drawings and introduces
it to the architectural dimension.
Additionally, the color variety calls to mind
the company’s origins in Basel, where it
began with the production of dyes.
In the end, the play between the panes of
colored glass reflects the endless processes
associated with the ongoing research pursued
at this location and forms a relationship with
the diverse, near limitless web of work, creative
energies, and encounters.” (Roger Diener)
Sincerely,
R
