Pezo von Ellrichshausen

Mauricio Pezo and Sofía von Ellrichshausen steer their practice with rigid frames out of which a profoundly lyrical architecture comes forth: works where pure geometries and matrix order help them make a link between artistic image and spatial experience. Arquitectura Viva now presents a selection of them – from a large public facility and two houses to a group of pavilions – that shows how life can spontaneously arise also from fixations. In this issue’s dossier, four European buildings present new constructional uses of wood, the retrospective that Herzog & de Meuron have organised at the Royal Academy of Arts, and three exhibitions in Europe on Yayoi Kusama.
