Street Photography | Photographer: 何藩

‘I must wait until there is something that touches my heart. There must be humanity in art. If you feel nothing when you click the shutter, you give the viewer nothing to respond to.’

You have to really believe not only in yourself; you have to believe that the world is actually worth your sacrifices.

So, here you are too foreign for home too foreign for here. Never enough for both.

The mindset isn’t about seeking a result—it’s more about the process of getting to that result. It’s about the journey and the approach. It’s a way of life.

Capilla San Bernardo, Argentina (2010 – 2015) | Architect: Nicolás Campodonico

A tectonic authenticity and purity emanate from Capilla San Bernardo, elegantly combining Sigurd Lewerentz’s sacrosanct respect of bricks with Eladio Dieste’s daring geometries.

Capilla San Bernardo, Argentina (2010 – 2015) | Architect: Nicolás Campodonico

Built brick by brick and laid out with artisanal accuracy, the soft curves of the central space contrast with the flat surfaces and acute edges of the exterior elements. The cut-out openings of the envelope contribute to the project’s structural complexity, and because the success of the chapel’s interior resides in the absolute smoothness of the geometry’s curves, the vault was built without formwork, and adjustments were made on site on a daily basis to avoid misalignments and slight offsets – with the end-of-day low angle lighting, small imperfections could have caused large shadows to be cast. With no elements protruding to disturb the purity of the brick lines, the only shadows moving through the circular interior are those of the two timber poles, which come together and intersect to form a cross in the evening light. While the interminable horizontality of the Humid Pampas’s flat grassland imposes its stillness, the chapel’s central space is ‘conceived as an instrument’ and ‘symbolism is replaced with rituals’. On a site without any electricity or utilities, ‘nature imposes its own conditions’.

Design creates culture. Culture shapes values. Values determine the future.

This ancient floating city, all snaking canals, narrow alleyways and marble palaces, seems to engulf the senses. A mix of history, beauty and art, Venice is a grand postcard from the past.
