Deados 2. Javier García Solera

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Most of Javier García-Solera recent buildings are located in the area of Alicante. They are usually pieces small in size, well adapted to the urban or suburban environment into which they are placed, dedicated to work, entertainment, study or to the services, They are configured in elementary volumes in which opaque adornments and concise and silent expression prevail.

These works are often interpreted as an exercise of pure abstraction directed to reaching the greatest possible level of compositional refinement and technical virtuosity, Although these are qualities that form part of the cultural baggage of the author, they do not contain the key that helps us understand the profound sense of this architecture.

The key would have to be sought in the impression of serenity and the feeling of serene luminosity given off by this group of works, in its capacity to build scenarios of everyday life so that cordiality and care immediately take over. What these works try to offer us, discreetly, is a sensation of comfort that caters to the body and the spirit equally.
They manage to transform architecture into active and invisible principle, that places itself at the service of the unfolding activities and developments of life. Visual refinement or virtuosity in the employment of techniques and materials are not, then, anything other than means or instruments of attaining the true aim that theses works pursue: to make our world inhabitable and, especially, the environment of everyday life.
