CARLOS FERRATER

In this unique family house, there appears to be no staircase and that none of the service facilities of the house are visible, all hidden away on a lower floor, which leads us to believe this is not a house but many houses at the same time. It is more a pavilion than a house, given that the only thing to emerge is a large open level of rectangular panels in a bright white as if it were a temporary Japanese pavilion or a marquee. The book includes an interview of the two architects: Ferrater and Marti by Emilio Tuñon as well as an extensive photo coverage and a selection of plans.

Vertebran esta narración cinco historias que tienen relación con diez casas proyectadas y construidos por Carlos Ferrater y su equipo entre el año 1982 y la actualidad. Cada una de ellas relata los procesos de proyecto y construcción de dos casas que guardan entre sí relaciones profundas de diverso orden. A lo largo de los cinco capítulos que desgranan las relaciones entre el arquitecto -en este caso el narrador- y los usuarios de su arquitectura, se pone de manifiesto la necesidad de armonización entre ellos como única forma de llegar a un resultado compartido.

OAB draws on the collaborative nature of the Carlos Ferrater previous studio, incorporating new ways of understanding the contributions of each team member to generate richer and more varied, prepared and flexible projects. The creation of this new platform attempts to address the challenges that contemporary architecture has raised in intellectual, social, technological, and environmental spheres.

In recent years, Carlos Ferrater's architecture studio has regularly and continuously developed new avenues for formal expression. This collection of projects comprises a family of independent experiences, joined by a common logic of design approximation: Geometry as a means of approximating landscape and urban forms. The book is divided into three parts: The time of Geometry, Research Process and Ideographical Resources. This framework aims to define the conditions whereby the job of architecture is to move from geometry to space by means of construction.
