Alejandro Aravena is a Chilean
architect from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile. He's actually 49
years old and last year he was awarded the Pritzker Architecture Prize, It's like the
nobel of architecture.
Their more famous works are the Torres Siamesas and the Center of
innovation Anacleto Angelini both in the Campus San Joaquin of the UC. Other
works are the social housing but not like the other. Aravena thinks that people
must have the opportunity of make changes in their houses so he build it with
the possibility of expansion with the own resources from families. He thought that
a house is a inversion and it isn’t a spending social. He uses good materials
for the building in return of a house "incomplete" or not so big. But
at least people make expansions and complete the house according to their
needs
That is because I admire to
Arevena. He thinks of a different form that is innovative and sustainable, and
I think that it form of thinking is
currently necessary.
