人: The Proscenium of Ephemeral Reflections

Primer premio FESTIVAL DES ARCHITECTURES VIVES, Montpellier

(Festival internacional de Arquitectura de Montpellier, Francia) – EN EJECUCIÓN

Proyecto con Jennyfher Alvarado Figueroa

Project Description

¨人¨ (person), origin of movement and rhythm, creative organism of art and beauty.

¨Proscenium¨, space between the public and the curtain (facade) in a theatrical performance, origin of the ¨Court d´Honneur¨, between the public and the monumental.


A fractal decomposition of the context that makes up a projected performative space.

An artifact that acts as a scenographic background appears, capable of generating rhythm inside a patio. A device that transforms the courtyard into a stage where the movement of the people around it and their way of interacting with it, is the performance itself.


A façade that shines, attracting passers-by to enter a space until then foreign to them, guiding them across a red carpet to the center of the action. The object generates a situation of approach to the context through the sinuous and rhythmic patterns that reflect the surroundings, generating a background that invites visitors to use that patio as a proscenium, where the background is no longer what is built but what is reinterpreted.

Two opposing surfaces formed, which evoke movement, the dissolution between what is built and what is not built, a contradiction between what is inside and what is outside, a diagrammatic reference to the person as the origin of movement and rhythm.


Multiscalar rhythm.

The object aims to invite visitors to enter a patio and perform in it, dance, photograph it from different perspectives… Where movement is the program itself.


Scales appear that could belong to a living animal, with a set of moving patterns that can be understood as a symphony, a puzzle or a poem, light pieces that move with the wind, generating different visual effects in the object and in what is projected. Pieces that reflect the context, generating a background, highlighting the historical and blurring with the sky, generating a performative space through two opposing surfaces.


A space in motion, a stage to act, a proscenium generator of centrality and multi-scalar rhythm. A living facade.
