About Artwork:
Artwork is based on Unit d'Habitation building created by Le Corbusier in Marseille.
This artwork is part of the ARQUETIPS Project, a research work from a plastic composition of architectural facades heirs of the modern movement, buildings built between the 50's and the 70's, an especially productive period of architecture. The first layer is the life. Small changes evidenced by the activity of the inhabitants, the chromatisms provided by the individuals that give the elements their own character.
The second layer adds woodworks, shutters and blinds, moving architectural elements also with a life of its own that, overlapped to the previous layer offers unique results. The third layer is the one of the shadows caused by the elements that make up these facades, (overhangs, eaves, balconies, terraces, pillars, beams, etc.) all enriched with a lot of elements whose depth adds nuances and volume to the drawings. The fourth and final layer is the one of the elements located at the far end of the plane of the facade, usually railing, slats, and edges of concrete slabs that sort and unify the drawings reinforcing the perception of a series.
