Descrizione del progetto
When art, landscape and architecture come together, the observer’s awareness is projected to uncharted territory. Unexpected associations and surprising interconnections are made, and chance and unforeseen events arise. In view of this, this project is a unique opportunity to experience how an architectural space, interacting with a work of art as symbolic as the “Pietà” can come to have a, let us say, revealing nature.
Architecture is voluntary space, in contrast to nature, where order and shape do not bend to man’s will. In order to plan a project that will strike up a dialog, as it were, with an artist’s work, one must cast off any sort of voluntarism. To understand the artist’s modus operandi, one must draw on the vitality of his creative activity. Atchugarry works directly on his material; he doesn’t do sketches. The material takes center stage, right from the beginning. Working with marble is a permanent give and take. The material lays down its laws, its rationale, requiring the artist to continually redirect his efforts. In the work’s evolution, his task is to unveil it, to remove the superfluous and leave only what’s inside, that which only the artist can see, and to suddenly make it visible to all. The space designed must emphasize the material and have a pure shape with no superfluous details, as well as a placement that interacts with the nature that surrounds it.
The winding, sine wave-like entry path is a place of transition that prepares the spirit for an experience of retreat. Walking through the entrance, compressed by the triangular steel door which Pablo was responsible for and the ascending ridge, the entrance aims to trigger in the visitor the sensation of being in an expanding space. The aesthetics are minimal. Everything is minimal: material, gestures, geometry. It’s an austere atmosphere, where nothing takes the spotlight away from the work, which is bathed in zenith lighting.
