Based on the relationship between human beings and the space we inhabit and our ability to read, plan and change that space, I sought to friction two ways of mapping.
Starting from a satellite image made over a kilometric set of agricultural fields, I proposed a distortion of the truth of this map to understand how organizational systems can reveal human gesture at any scale. Therefore, I let the lines that delimit and structure this rural area disguise as walls, slabs, pillars and beams and propose, almost on their own, a new reading, resulting in a suggestion of an architectural design, a building.
In this game of scales, the immeasurable becomes habitable, the non-place becomes welcoming, the distant comes closer and we realize that, whether in the kilometric distances of agriculture or in the metrics of architecture, and also in so many other scales, reasoning and methodology can show themselves in very similar ways and reveal the human being’s design thinking.
