THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ISLAND

BARBAS LOPES ARQUITECTOS


The possibility of an island is the possibility of architecture after its shipwreck. A crew of castaways was pressed to explore its whereabouts, the perils and delights of terra incognita. An island is always a special place, clearly separated from the outside by a contour. The island of Trindade lies almost a thousand kilometres away from Brazil, in the Atlantic Ocean. Described as a “topographic disaster,” it is nevertheless full of stories. In 1958, the crew of a ship sailing round its shores claims to have seen a flying saucer. Much earlier, in 1893, the American entrepreneur James Harden-Hickey proclaimed himself “Prince James I of Trindade.” In this rugged tabula rasa, we set off in an expedition to settle outposts. The crew was divided in seven groups and each chose a location and began to work at once. After a short time, a series of constructions had been devised: the observatory, the lighthouse, the pier, the villa, the shelter, the reservoir, and the flyover. They are the result of a flight of the imagination, but also strived for primordial precision. Architecture must salvage such things.

Our belonging to a common space was destined to remain purely theoretical; none of those persons moved around in a field of reality with which we could interact, no matter what. Upon our eyes, their existence was far less present than images on the flickering screen of a cinema. I started to feel that this excursion to the real world was fated to failure, and I realized it could even end in a rather unpleasant way. Michel Houellebecq, The Possibilty of an Island
