HOUSE PROJECTS, WITH HELIOThe third cycle of meetings with Helio PIÑón is dedicated to house projects.Helio tries to avoid the program as a criterion of classification, to avoid the impression that cada program has its architecture, but, in este case, the house, insofar as it combines the m specific fico (personal life) and the m generic (habits of living), it becomes a testing ground for the project.Thus, si custom hinders the formal approach, the obligation to transcend habits (sometimes true domestic vices) requires the architect to take the distance from "life" that guarantees the architectural quality of the object.In fact, from Palladio to MIES van der Rohe, las different ideas of architecture have had houses that have managed to condense their principles into the small space of a home.Over the course of five two-hour sessions cada one, Helio will show in detail cada one of las more than three dozen houses he has designed since "he left the profession to dedicate himself to architecture".As always, the meetings will focus on the exhibition of the different house projects, with express mention of their background and references, both personal and those of other architects of their interest.In cada session there will be a half-hour space that attendees can use to raise clarifications or questions, which must refer to specific buildings or projects, which the speaker will contribute, to continue with the basic approach of the meetings: focus them on projects, not on las ideas. The reference to las ideas must be illustrated, in any case, with aspects of specific projects.In any case, as in previous cases, cada session will open with a short comment - since theCoffees with HeliumandElementary Observations on Projecting- about the basics of Helium projects.It will take place throughout the month of October-November 2023, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., according to the following programPROGRAMPROGRAMOctober 1018.30_ What do I mean by architecture?18.40_Proyectos of handles20.00_Pausa (5 minutes)20.05_Preguntas and clarifications20.30_Fin of the sessionOctober 1718.30_ What am I saying when I say that I like a building?18.40_Proyectos of houses20.00_Pausa (5 minutes)20.05_Preguntas and clarifications20.30_Fin of the sessionOctober 2418.30_Proyectar is to define a physical reality, ordered by universal criteria of form, which contain the socioeconomic and functional requirements18.40_Proyectos of houses20.00_Pausa (5 minutes)20.05_Preguntas and clarifications20.30_Fin of the sessionOctober 3118,30_Para mí, an archetype is a universal pattern, a basic formal structure that promotes the formal consistency of the object and explains the historical continuity of architecture18.40_Proyectos of Blocks of flats20.00_Pausa (5 minutes)20.05_Preguntas and clarifications20.30_Fin of the sessionNovember 718,30_Para to design I need to have stimuli and materials: architectural stimuli -m beyond the mina of functional requirements that is known as "program" and materials, in a way analogous to how the writer needs a language to support his narration.18.40_Proyectos of houses20.00_Pausa (5 minutes)20.05_Pausa (5 minutes)19.30_Preguntas and clarifications20.30_Fin of the sessionThe course will take place for 5 consecutive weeks at a rate of 1 session per week.Las sessions ser from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. American time(18.30 to 20.30 European time).(Course price 350US$ or 350€ payable before October 10th (the pago can be done in installments 175 + 175 with a first pago before September 15th and a second pago before October 10th)To sign up, send an email to:encuentrosconhelio@lacapell.comCollaborators:"lacapell"Red Green StudioEditions asimètricasTo register, send an email to:encuentrosconhelio@lacapell.com
