The design process to which each new work is subjected combines the requirements of the programme and the formal purification of architectural volumes through tectonic synthesis. This evolution, which develops through a maturation process in which multiple factors get involved in a multidisciplinary work environment, culminates in the constructive definition of each singular detail, each encounter; sometimes it is a question of how light slides through a skylight, sometimes is the encounter between two architectural plans, or the simplicity and rotundity of the whole. The constructive detail, reflected and correctly executed, manages to unconsciously generate sensations in the observer who lives the space, transmitting the grace of good work. Sometimes it provokes fascination when questioning preconceived ideas of certain solutions. On other occasions, a well-resolved encounter can achieve the evocation of the desired balance, or the illusion of immateriality, when for instance, a sheet of water merges with the horizon. The relevance of detail lies precisely in its invisibility, from which also derives a complexity in which all the ingenuity and constructive knowledge of the team is poured. The final materialization remains faithful to the idea in which it was conceived. This detailed study covers the different processes of the work, from the overall project to the smallest decisions. They appear both in the definition of the structure, in order to achieve surprising challenges that defy gravity, and even in the last of the carpentry encounters. This detailed study reflects the texture of the coverings, the conjunction of different materials, the union of architectural plans and the generation of edges. Also covers aspects as the metric of the stereotomy, a subtle line of shadow or the reflection of light on the walls. The responsibility involved in a scrupulous execution forces a deep cycle of reviewing and drawing until the necessary concretion is acquired, enriching the project in the course. The progress of the work produces a transfer of knowledge that leads to new solutions. Professionally, few emotions are as gratifying as contemplating that all the details previously imagined, are finally well executed and fulfilling the initial idea. The value given to what is hidden transcends, thus, the small scale achieving the clear perception of space, revealing in all its magnitude the importance of what is not seen.
每項新作品的設計過程都因為建築案的需求和綜合結構後所篩選出的體積而有所變化。這種演變是透過一個逐漸成熟的過程發展而來的,在這其中多項因素涵括了多領域的工作環境,最終在每個單一細部和每個組合中形成建築定義。有時是有關光線如何穿透天窗照射進來,有時是兩份建築平面圖之間的火花,有時關乎整體的簡單度與完熟度。反映概念並正確執行出來的建築細部會傳遞出優良作品所蘊含的優雅,讓在這個空間的居住者在觀賞時自然而然產生感覺。有時,當我們質疑原先設想好的解決方案,反而會激發想像力;而有時,處理恰當的組合可以達到我們所想要的平衡或形而上的想像,例如當水平面與地平線合而為一時。細部的適切性關乎它是否能夠顯而不見,而其中所衍生出來的複雜度是傾注整個團隊的智慧和建築知識所創造出來的。最終形成的具體結果必須仍然忠實於原本構思的概念。
細部的研究涵蓋了不同的工作流程,從整個建案到最小的決策都含括其中。在定義結構時需加以考量(才能達成抵抗重力的驚人挑戰),甚至最後的木工組合中也是重要因素。細部的研究反映在外牆的質地、不同材料的結合、不同建築平面圖的協調和邊界的形成上。此外,還包括立體定向的度量、微妙的陰影線條或牆上的反射光線等面向。我們的責任是嚴格執行一次又一次的審視與繪圖,直到獲得必要的具體結果,讓設計案內容更加充實飽滿。這樣的工作過程可形成知識的轉移,從而產生新的解決方案。在工作過程中,很少情緒會像構思時那樣滿足,除非所有原先想像的細部都成功地執行,最終實現了最初的想法。至此,那些隱藏的細部超越了原先賦予的價值,因此能夠從小規模之處清楚地體現出對空間的認知,從各個面向展現出其前所未見的重要性。
