Querido Roberto,
"Nuestra propuesta consistia en crear un espacio de
encuentro. Separando los distintas partes y ámbitos del
teatro queríamos que el espíritu del lugar fuese capaz de
atraer al ciudadano común y corriente, que al cruzar
entre esas piezas se viese sorprendido de repente por
un grupo ensayando una pieza de ballet, por unos músicos
afinando sus intrumentos o por una compañía de circo con
sus malabares. De esa forma el ciudadano imaginario sería
despertado y podría comezar a iluminar su vida con las
cosas de la cultura" (Fabio Penteado)
Un abrazo afectuoso,

824. Fritz Wotrube Kirche, Wien Mauer
Dear Diana
This amazing church was built between 1965 and 1976
in a bucolic place near Vienna. Internationally renowned
artist Fritz Wotruba assisted by architect Fritz Mayr were
the building designers. Wotruba wanted to "form something
which shows that poverty needn't mean ugliness, that
renunciation can occur within surroundings which are
beautiful though extremely simple and nevertheless giving
you a feeling of happiness"
Best.

Dear Zoe,
The Museum of Anthropology of the University of British
Columbia in Vancouver was designed in such a way that
it resembled the timber framing constructions of the first
Pacific Northwest Coast communities. The building though,
is primarily made out of reinforced concrete and tempered
glass walls.

Dear Cesar,
The Oduduwa Hall of the University of Ife in Nigeria
was designed by Israeli architect Arieh Sharon and
local firm AMY Ltd. Sharon studied at the Bauhaus
under Gropius and Meyer and then returned to Israel
where he worked for the Israeli government planning
department. In the mid-1950s he worked in his private
office and designed among other buildings the new
campus of the University of Ife in Nigeria. The hall
is named for legendary Oduduwa who was the founder
and first king of Ife, the ancient Yoruba city.
