RESIDENCES WITH MEANING: TROPICAL FAMILY SPACE WITH SPACES OPEN TO THE OUTDOORS.
Testimony of Chaves-Collado Family
“Se nos permitió no sólo disfrutar su conocimiento sobre arquitectura tropical, sino sentir que nuestras apreciaciones, experiencias e intereses sobre el espacio, eran interpretadas con maestría. La empatía diría yo que es un ingrediente clave en su quehacer creativo: en este atelier sienten con el otro, y “el otro” no solo somos sus clientes, sino toda la vida involucrada en el proyecto arquitectónico: el medioambiente y el paisaje también son un otro al que se escucha.”
“We were allowed not only to enjoy his knowledge of tropical architecture, but also to feel that our appreciations, experiences and interests in space were masterfully interpreted. I would say that empathy is a key ingredient in their creative work: in this atelier they feel with the other, and “the other” are not only their clients, but all life involved in the architectural project: the environment and the landscape are also an other that is listened to.”
