Pozo Podenco / Gartnerfuglen Arkitekter + Mariana de Delás

Rayen Sagredo — Sat, 06 Jan 2018 09:00:00 +0000

Traditions in Mallorca continue to drift into making the island a tourist served region. Hotels, restaurants, beach houses and clubs keep opening providing a mirage of paradise to those in search for a quick and easy sun tan. Amidst these bustling tourist areas there are still areas where locals manage to live a life in where time has stopped, and alien tourist sun consumers seem far away. Being concious of the value of the land and the pleasures it provides, one way they manage to under grow the traditions is by spending their free time carrying out classical rabbit hunting by means of Ibizan hounds, (native to the Balearic islands).

Cristian Aguilar — Fri, 05 Dec 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Ca s’Ametller is a 19th-century house refurbishment where the space is designed after a need for flexibility of use.

Social Housing in Sa Pobla / RIPOLLTIZON

Jonathan Alarcón — Thu, 18 Jul 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The elements with which to develop the project are not far away. They are features that tell us about the climate, the context and the way we live. Simply walking around the place and looking at... the courtyards, the filters, the light, the plots configuration, the small scale of the buildings... the singularity of each of the houses and the amazing configurations that emerge when they are grouped... not really knowing where one house ends and the next one begins...

Venice Biennale 2012: Catalan and Balearic Islands Pavilion

Irina Vinnitskaya — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 13:00:11 +0000

This year’s Venice Biennale will kick off on August 29th and run through November 25th and for the first time, the Institut Ramon Llull will be presenting an exhibition dedicated to Catalan and Balearic architecture entitled “Vogadors”, featuring nine projects from nine different architects that epitomize the contemporary and avant-garde works from the regions. The exhibition is inspired by the Mediterranean Sea, which is the main geographical feature of the regions, and by the words of Jorge Oteiza, “He who forges ahead creating something new does so like an oarsman, moving forward but back-paddling, looking behind him, towards the past, towards what exists, so as to be able to reinvent its underpinnings.”
