Présentation de l'éditeur :
Along with Mathias Klotz, Alejandro Aravena, Pezo von Ellrichshausen, Sebastián Irarrázabal and Cecilia Puga, Smiljan Radic
(Santiago de Chile, 1965) is one of the most interesting exponents of
the new generation of Chilean architects. Although his work evolves in
a country that is seemingly remote from the world, he confronts the
same contemporary issues as other architects from the First World: the
use of new techniques and new materials, the relationship to place, and
a preoccupation with the ordinary by introducing local values that
produce new, unusual, sentient qualities in his buildings. The delicacy
of his small buildings, in which he works at the scale of the detail as
well as with more general themes, means that his œuvre occupies a
particular and highly personal place in current Chilean architecture.
Introductory texts by Alberto Sato and Patricio Mardones help us to set
his work in the context of his own country, and with the text written
by the architect for the nexus section, 'The circus', we get to
understand some of his architectural ideas and preoccupations.
