14-20 August / Luis Urculo (SP) / Boisbuchet as a canvas - Beyond the paper

http://www.luisurculo.com/

The creative process and its development is usually based on a bidimensional and neutral structure.

To draw is to translate and change reality into a personal language on a lower resolution, making visible only our space of interest through a code of lines and notations.

The working enviroment  at the domain offers a rich and complex canvas of stimulations.

We will open the scale and the limit of the usual working surface space -the drawing paper,

to a more complex and direct medium-the landscape –the real space. Analisys and preproduction will be done on small scale and action and results in big 1:1 scale.
The aim is first to catalog and select by a perception Safari the working space in a bidimensional structure, to perform on a second stage a direct translation of this analysis, constructing the drawings with real elements, breaking out the usual limits of graphic/architectural/design projects to create a spatial experience scenario out of the sketches, to build with raw, primary drawings.  
The result will be a graphic installation made through the tailoring, cut and creation of drawings, lines and diagrams out of inflatables, lights, cardboard, etc. using the real space as a working model.

Reality as a media. Boisbuchet as a canvas.

Licensed in the ETSAM Technical School of Senior Architecture, Madrid (December, 2006), Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) and Institute of Design in Chicago.
In 2004 he founds Motocross and in 2006 he establishes his own studio.
He develops a work of small and indefinite architecture in an opened format. '“I no longer know what architecture is and what an architect should do”. Always interested in all that is peripheral to architecture, the processes, developments and approaches that can be manipulated, sampled and translated into other scales, adapting to the composition of the project, creating new scenes/ experiences / expectations not contemplated previously.
He creates projects of diverse format among others for Philippe Starck, Sybilla, AbsolutLab, Mansilla & Tuñón, La Casa Encendida, Matadero, Rolling Stone, X Bienal of Architecture and Urbanism, etc … where the barriers of the graphical language / architecture / design are questioned as something unique. They work as a whole.
He also works as a teacher with Jaime Hayón for Master of European Design Labs in Istituo Europeo di Design, Madrid.
