Author Description

Illustrated volume devoted to the architecture of Luis Restrepo: a series of constructions characteristic for their timeless abstract and geometric proportionality that reflect harmony and tranquil environments in their modern and vernacular designs. Restrepo's work is focused on residential buildings. In his designs, he recognizes that modern Colombian architecture originates not in the vernacular Colonial or Mediterranean constructions, but with Scandinavian influence and the emphasis on transformed natural materials, especially wood and clay bricks.
