AmP arquitectos / the mark of the volcano
At the time when architectural fashion, in its effort to approach the immaterial visual fascination
of the plasma screen, seems to be occupied principally with themes of veiled transparencies, weightlessness, saturated
colors, liquid light,evanescent reflections and rippling, vibrating effects of movement,
José Maria Pastrana and
Felipe Artengo have set out in the opposite direction, anchoring their architecture in the specifics of its making
and its locale, developing their works as a manifestation of and response to the landscape, natural environment, history,
and other conditioning factors of its setting, in visual, sensorial, corporeal and existential terms.
