Herreros Arquitectos

Cultural history always has shown a markedly interest in imagining the primordial manifestation of architecture. This quest often revolved around the idea of protection for people and could be summarized in the physical action of "covering" a space. Since decades now several less physical ingredients have been discovered in order to introduce other architectural properties and characteristics such as heating, lighting, accumulate information or convoke people. We propose to construct a basic manifest of contemporary architecture. The trees that have welcomed us on the site are already part of the project
