Environmental Interpretation Centre in São Jorge Island / Ana Laura Vasconcelos

August 3, 2019 Diego Hernández 0

An interpretive center is a building devoted to a didactic-pedagogic perspective that seeks, above all, to make known “in situ” space, theme, or content in which it appears. Thus, the Interpretation Centre of the Faja da Caldeira de Santo Cristo is part of a global intervention idea that the Regional Secretariat of the Environment and the Sea has been developing in the region, which was established with a set of criteria for the suitability of the place, as well as a specific program that appeals to the “internalization”, dissemination and development of the natural heritage in question./

These materials and their integration support local manufacturers and tradesmen, and the simplicity of their assembly encourages homeowners and neighbors to work together on the construction of their neighborhood.

ArchiPaper: A Surrealist Story About Architecture

July 9, 2019 Diego Hernández 0

The architect Rafał Barnaś, the owner of Unique Vision Studio, a company that specializes in audiovisual arts, architectural visualization, animation, and film, would like to present a trailer of his original project. ArchiPaper is a non-commercial, experimental, short animated film that tells a story about architecture in an unconventional way. The basis and starting point for this work was a physical model of a house designed by BXB Studio. The model was photographed and transformed into an image that teems with life, creating a leisurely-paced, surrealist story immersed in an abstract world, built solely out of paper elements.
