Manuel Gallego Jorreto Manuel Gallego Jorreto is a Spanish architect born in Carballino, Orense in 1936. He represents a model of ethical architecture backed by half a century of projects. His works fills space, but does not invade it. Witness of exception of the brick bubble, he is critical with pharaonic works like the City of the Culture in Santiago de Compostela. Examples of techniques that he used are opacity, disorder in materials, lack of common sense and empty content. Now, with 79 years, he is working with the Foundation BarriĂŠ de la Maza of CoruĂąa.
Perejaume Pere Jaume Borrell i Guinart, known as Perejaume. Born in 1957 in Sant Pol de Mar, Catalonia and he is an contemporary artist. Of self-taught formation he takes clear influences of authors like Joan Brossa, with he will share work mixing the painting and the poetry. His work covers a discursive plane of subject matter that includes humans relationship with nature, the society of the spectacle, and the reevaluation of modernist painting. He has been exhibiting his work around the world since 1990 in such institutions as the Arnolfini Gallery in Bristol, England, the Meyers Bloom Gallery in Santa Monica, California and the Galeria Joan Prats in Barcelona, Catalonia.

The first task was to make a collage which represent the building of Manuel Gallego by technique of the Catalan artist Perejaume. In my collage I represented Private house “El Carballo” in Oleiros, La Coruña build in 1977-1979. I was very inspired by few art of Perejaume strictly connected with nature. The ground I did with inspiration of serie “Horizontes y las Cinturas”. The windows of the house with inspiration by “Intemperie”. The trees are done with drawnig “D’escriure així”. In my opinion the connection between Manuel Gallego and Perejaume is very strong, because both are working with nature. Buildings of Manuel Gallego are restrictive matching into the nature and Perejaume´s arts are inspired by nature.

Luigi Caccia Dominioni Luigi Caccia Dominioni was born 7 December 1913 in Milan, Italy. He graduated from the Politecnico di Milano. After the war, Caccia Dominioni opened his professional study and in 1947 he co-founded with two friends "Azucena", a company specialized in producting handmade design objects and furniture. Caccia Dominioni designed many buildings in Milan, notably curing the internal restructuring of the Biblioteca and the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana.
Michelangelo Pistoletto Michelangelo Pistoletto was born 23 June 1933 in Biella. Is an Italian painter, action and object artist, and art theorist. Pistoletto is acknowledged as one of the main representatives of the Italian Arte Povera. His work mainly deals with the subject matter of reflection and the unification of art and everyday life in terms of a Gesamtkunstwerk.

My second task is created only by lines and is a representation of a staircase from the building placed in Milan and designed by an Italian architect Luigi Caccia Dominioni. My inspiration of using the organic, natural lines I took from artistic installation of Michelangelo Pistoletto “Serpentine Galleries”. I have choosen this art as an inspiration, because I found the connection between organic lines of Dominioni´s building and “Serpentine Galleries”. In wanted my drawing to be more dynamic, that is why I inverted the colours. I opted for black and white design, because these style an artist mostly is using in his artworks, for example the mirror installation “Galleria Continua”.

Dolf Schnebli Adolf Hermann Josef Schnebli was born in 27 December 1928 in Baden, he died 12 September 2009 in Zürich. He was a Swiss architect. Schnebli studied architecture from 1948 to 1952 at ETH Zurich. After traveling years and as an architect in Paris, Zurich, Mulhouse, Venice, New York, Boston, Agno and St. Louis finally he returned to Zurich in 1952 and wored there to the end of his life.
Fischli & Weiss Peter Fischli was born 8 June 1952 and David Weiss in 21 June 1946, often shortened to Fischli/Weiss, were an artist duo that had been collaborating since 1979. They were among the most renowned contemporary artists of Switzerland. Their best-known work is the film “Der Lauf der Dinge” (The Way Things Go, 1987), described by “The Guardian” as being "post apocalyptic", as it concerned chain reactions and the ways in which objects flew, crashed and exploded across the studio in which it was shot. Fischli lives and works in Zürich. Weiss died on 27 April 2012. .8
In this drawing I represented section of the project Bath in Wohlen, Switzerland designed by Dolf Schnebli, which is done by teqnique of artists Fischli and Weiss. During my reserch about artists and architect´s works I was very inspired by the “comics style” diagrams of Fischli and Weiss from exhibition “How to Work Better”. I would like to see my section as hand draving, that is why I decided put these diagrams into my picture. In my opinion this representation is very clear and it is showing some funny point in representation teqnique of an architectural drawings and I very appreciate that. This kind of art is very characteristic for Peter Fischli and David Weiss, because they thrives on irony and paradox. The Swiss duo play with viewers habits and expectations, but they demand to be taken seriously at this game.

Jacques Hondelatte Jacques Hondelatte in a French architect. He was born on May 10, 1942 in L'Absie, France, he died in February 2, 2002. He was a teacher at the School of Architecture and Landscape of Bordeaux from 1969 to 2002. He also designed many projects, all of which were lost because of the conformist anti-engineeriness: the viaduct of Millau with its huge giant piles in the form of a bottle, Mont Saint-Michel with a mirror to reflect it, and especially the tribunal de grande instance Of Bordeaux.
Gilbert Garcin Gilbert Garcin is an French photographer and artist. Born in La Ciotat, France in 21 july 1929 (87 years old). In his black-and-white photographs Gilbert Garcin solitary figure navigates spare-yet-fantastical landscapes populated with towering sea-urchin shells, puppet strings, and oversized flowers. His first inspiration in a nature. To create his images, Garcin crafts a tiny model world in his studio, which he artificially illuminates “to make more real� and then photographs.
.10
In these pictures I represented a conceptual model of a French architect Jaques Hondelatte´s project called Institut of Reaserch. In first collage I wanted to show the building as an artistic installation. I used for that a technique of Gilbert Garcin. I have been inspired by scene on the artistic picture of Gilbert “Double Mistake”. In my material selection for the model I used very light and transparent plastics. Was important for me to show this transparent connection which we can see in Garcin´s arts such as “Abscence” is.

Herman Hertzberger Herman Hertzberger is a Dutch architect and professor. He was born on 6 July 1932 in Amsterdam. He completed his studies at the Delft University of Technology in 1958, where he was a professor from 1970 to 1999. Hertzberger can be considered, along with Aldo van Eyck, as the influence behind the Dutch structuralist movement of the 1960s. He believed that the architect's role was not to provide a complete solution, but to provide a spatial framework to be eventually filled in by the users. Among Hertzberger's best known buildings are the Montessori school in Delft (1966–70) and the administration building for the Centraal Beheer Insurance Company building in Apeldoorn (1970–72).
Droog Design Droog (droog is a Dutch word meaning "dry") is a conceptual Dutch design company situated in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Droog works with independent designers to design and realize products, projects, exhibitions and events. Droog has worked with amongst others Marcel Wanders, Hella Jongerius, Tejo Remy, Richard Hutten, Ed Annink, Jurgen Bey and Joris Laarman.

That fifth exercise was about designing a small object for the Herman Hertzberger´s building. As a small design I have choosen a chair. My design follow an architecture of Hertzberger and the form is done by the module of a extruded plan of De Drie Hoven Old People´s centre in Amsterdam, Holland. Inspired by Herteberger´s architecture I decided to work with module, I think is an integral point of his projects. Designed object I placed in Chasse Concert Hall, Breda build in 1992-95. In my opinion this project is very powerfull, exalted and one of his key project. It is showing exactly a Hertzberger´s style in architecture.

Chamberlin, Powell & Bon Chamberlin, Powell and Bon were one of the most important modernist architectural firms in post-war England. The practice was founded in 1952 by Geoffry Powell, Peter "Joe" Chamberlin and Christoph Bon, following Powell's win in the 1951 architectural competition for the Golden Lane Estate. The three founding partners taught at Kingston Polytechnic when they each entered the design competition with the agreement that should any of them win they would form a partnership with the other two to deliver the project.
Assemble Assemble are a collective office based in London, which works across the fields of art, architecture and design. They began working together in 2010 and are comprised of 18 members. Assemble’s working practice seeks to address the typical disconnection between the public and the process by which places are made. Assemble champion a working practice that is interdependent and collaborative, seeking to actively involve the public as both participant and collaborator in the on-going realisation of the work.
.14
In this task I tried to find a connection between work of architects Chamberlin, Powell and Bon with Studio Assemble. As my response I prepared a collage when I am demonstrating a geometrical rooftop of Assamble placed into building project of aforesaid architects. For that I choose Arthur House on the Golden Lane Estate and I placed Assamble roof for Northcote VIC, Australia building. I wanted that this installation will remains cloud, something light. This intervention would make some kind of roof for the terrace of the building and that process can bring the activity for an area.

Manfreð Vilhjálmsson Manfreð Vilhjálmsson was born in 1928 in Iceland. During a career of over 50 years, the architecture ofhas gained a great respect fortwinning together Icelandic context and building methods and ideas from abroad. He has worked on a wide range of projects that include urban planning, public edifices, detached houses, furniture and exhibitions designs. His architecture is rooted in the known, and creates a setting for new living conditions for the present as well as participtes in the evolution of society.
Olafur Eliasson Olafur Eliasson was born in 1967 is a Danish-Icelandic artist known for sculptures and large-scale installation art employing elemental materials such as light, water, and air temperature to enhance the viewer’s experience. In 1995 he established Studio Olafur Eliasson in Berlin, a laboratory for spatial research. He was a professor at the Berlin University of the Arts from 2009 to 2014 and is an adjunct professor at the Alle School of Fine Arts and Design in Addis Ababa since 2014.
.16
My last task was to create the connection between Manfreð Vilhjálmsson´s project and Olafur Eliasson art. From many interesting projects of the architect I have been choosen Nesti, Drive-in petrol station build in 1956 in Reykjavík. I decided instead of the rooftop put an artistic installation done by Olafur Eliasson ” Your rainbow panorama “. This intervention is creating some kind of colorful bridge, which could be almost infinite. People could walk from one station to another and admire the spectacular landscape of Iceland with colorful filters from Olafur. In my opinion this kind of experience of walking above the ground and looking for an wonderful panoramic view from rainbow tunel could be indescribable.
