SPACES OF INTIMICY
- FROM THE ROOM TO THE TERRITORY
Is there a place in the cities for a detached house, permanently inhabited, strongly related to the landscape, drawn by an architect in close connection with a specific client? We searched for sites in the city of Porto in which would be possible to design a detached house and we found places that, either for their difficulty of access, for the pre-existences, or for its topography, are still empty. There is a very poetic character in all the places we chose and, for their geographical condition, these places are preponderant in the city itself. Any building built on these places will change the city’s landscape. By considering these places of exception we proposed to think how could they be given back to the city through the idea of a detached house. The “Map of Places of Intimacy” represents this places having in mind which would be the relevant and unique conditions of these sites if we had to design a detached house for each one of them. Believing that the idea of intimacy could be transversal to various scales of an architectural project we looked at the city transposing the scale of the house into the territory. Intimacy isn’t privacy, it is something you look for in your relationship with yourself, with the other, with cities, with the divine. If we don’t create intimacy, we will not create depth, we will create superficiality. The “Space of intimacy” is a room inside a house, an interior space where you can look towards the landscape, towards the city, through your own look of intimacy.
