Renata Berta

Residency Programme: July 2017

Renata and Joaquín form a team of exploration about different edges of the architecture as a discipline
In AADK Spain, Centro Negra, they research about the vernacular architecture and they articulate, through formal poetics, the relationship or equilibrium and interdependency of the old and new materials, as well as the construction methods before and after the industrial era.

During this month, they rehearsed a series of pieces which are evidence of the temporal and socio-geographical relations of self-construction.

This artwork is an almost archeological path of search and selection of element, classified by their matter, their time, and their size to reorganize them in three pieces which display relations of affinity and contraposition in a poetic way. The temporality and fragility of the architecture, ostensibly solid and durable, contains a literal statement and a metaphor extendable to many other fields of life.
