Description
Summary:In 2015 it was published Carme Pinos Arquitecturas, a recollection of works and projects developed during the last twenty years. On the same date, the architect was also awarded with the Cruz de Sant Jordi. Both events make clear a career marked publications by prestigious publishers and national and international awards. During this fruitful period, the architect has built a solid career path whose keys emerge as we move through the pages of the publication. In it, the works are presented in a consistent way with their project outlines. Each work is introduced using a plan of the site (the context), the work models (the architectural space) and a text that reveals the intentions and strategy used, as well as its link with the program. The graphical information is shown gradually, in a process from the general floor plans up to the detail. This information is always accompanied with the corresponding photographs that offer a true picture of the work, stressing on the parameters that define the discourse. The series of projects unveils a constant will to experiment that weaves her architectural discourse. Work after work, or rather story after story, the special relationship that exists between her projects and sites, which is detected mainly in the way the site plans are drawn. We can observe how the traces and contour lines or the marks of the territory are incorporated into her drawings in "an architecture that aims to become geography" as described by Rafael Moneo.
