CARCEREIRA II

Ivan Santos Ferreira

"(...) a cidade (...) consiste somente de um lado de fora e de um avesso, como uma folha de papel, com uma figura aqui e outra ali, que não podem se separar nem se encarar", um lugar onde as partes, os contrastes e o movimento participam numa dança infindável. E é a busca pela compreensão da linha ténue entre o sim e o não, o claro e o escuro, o tudo e o nada, que dá nome ao nosso trabalho, Oppositions. “(…) the city (…) consists only of an outside and a reverse, like a sheet of paper, with a figure here and there, which cannot be separated nor face each other.”, a place where the parts, contrasts and movement participate in an endless dance. And it is the search for understanding the fine line between yes and no, light and dark, everything and nothing, that gives name to our work, Oppositions.

‘The architectural barrier, in its cold hardness, hides the softness of the being that yearns for freedom. A barrier, when removed, reveals the secret path to the soul.’ Clarice Lispector

‘So few people love landscapes that don't exist’ Fernando Pessoa

‘[...] architecture does not end at any point, it goes from the object to the space and, consequently, to the relationship between the spaces, to the encounter with nature’

Álvaro Siza

‘The routes in and around buildings are crucial to understanding how architecture relates to the landscape. My photographs try to capture this connection, showing how buildings are part of a larger whole, a continuous journey.’ Erieta Attali

‘Architecture and landscape, lucid and separate experiences, are like rival protagonists in a debate that progressively contradict and clarify each other's meaning.’ Rowe

Agustina Bessa-Luís

‘Light and dark, vertical and horizontal, geometric and organic, contrasts permeate Le Corbusier's work (...)’ Flora Samuel

"It is the harmony of the diverse parts, their symmetry, their happy balance; in a word it is all that introduces order, all that gives unity, that permits us to see clearly and to comprehend at once both the ensemble and the details." Henri Poincare

‘What is utopia for? So that I don't stop walking.’

Eduardo Galeano
