Patricio Pouchulu Architect / Office Hall / Bariloche / Patagonia / Argentina / 1983

This generous interior public space of an office building shows the need of expressing architecture in terms of space. The elements have been placed in a rational but free way. The transparency of the hall is expressed in the curtain-wall and in the verticality which goes up through the ceiling's gap. Structural forms fill the borders: triangular large pillars and flat platforms at the left, a textured wall at the right. The mountains' simple profile behind the glass points the romantic condition of the site. Pouchulu was here seventeen years old. EN ES
