Dear Rodney,
The intricate concrete structure of this church in
Longuelo forms a tensile structure reminiscent of
a sail, or, symbolically, Moses's tent.

Querida Cristina,
Construida a finales de la década de 1930, la escuela
primaria y progresista del Sonido posee un espacio
común ovalado lleno de la luz que se integra en
su forma con su función. Hoy esta escuela fue
restaurada y recuperada en su forma y colores
originales en 2020 y funciona como una escuela de
educación especial.
Besos,

2397. Lyngby. Raadhuset
The Lyngby curved city hall is a functionalistic
building designed with flexibility in mind. This
capacity was extensively used over the years
and as a result moved away the building from its
original design. Happily in 2016 it was renovated
and returned to its original appearance.

Dear Daniel,

Dear David,
"Friendship is a circle, the universe and shared bread
are round. Over our head the night is a dome. Love
beyond time and space, creates in our feelings a
perfect volume."(Pierre Lainé).
Pierre Lainé, the founder of the Renouveau Association
and project manager inscribed these words on the walls
in the form of profession of faith.
Best regards,
R
