Santa Catarina y MACBA






Look how many letters I crammed into the upper right hand corner!

But fragmentation is what makes Santa Catarina so interesting. When sketching it I continuously got the impression Enrique Moralles just couldn't take his pencil off the damn paper when designing this thing. 5 shots of Spanish coffee and architect's block, perhaps. Nothing in it is simple and clearly defined, and even to this day I still don't have a grasp on the extent of the canopy structure.


MACBA is minimalist.
