Project description online

The thought to lend freedom figure was created in Colmar, shipped to Paris and was given as a present to NYC, the basement was supported by those who believed in freedom. Our «Else» stands for peace. «Statue of Liberty» stands for freedom. Eduardo Chillidas sculpture «Berlin», a picture like artwork carved out of steel, stands for unity, patience, understanding and tolerance. «nunca se conoce bastante ya que lo conocido oculta, en su interior lo desconocido»1, our knowledge is never comprehensive, nevertheless, the well-known leads in the inner to the un-known. The design is about a house where people meet, inform and inspect; a discourse about shiftings and changes, between presentation and representation.
