This is why Divisare is a place to perceive architecture slowly, without distractions. Instead of hastily perused information, we prefer knowledge calmly absorbed. Instead of a quick, distracted web, we want a slow, attentive one. Patient work, done with care, image after image, project after project, to offer you the ideal tool with which to organize your knowledge of contemporary architecture. Join us in taking a stand against the short attention architecture media.ĭivisare is the result of an effort of selection and classification of contemporary architecture conducted for over twenty years. The main construction element is compacted earth, in this way the site and its topography are consolidated as the raw materials of the project. At the back of the social area there is a staircase that leads to the third level where the main chamber is located, which has a view of the context's landscape, in this space the interior is blurred with the exterior.Ĭasa Martha arises and is modeled with deep sensitivity and respect for its surroundings. ![]() This lattice generates, in turn, a protection from the prevailing winds, as well as a component of privacy towards the interior, generating a play of light and shadows. On the second level, the core of the house is found: the entertainment room, dining room and kitchen make up the access threshold with large windows and porches woven with salt pine. The first level is divided into two areas, the visitor area made up of two rooms and the study area that can function as a painting and carpentry workshop or as a garage. A dialogue between three volumes embedded in the site and oriented towards the Pacific Ocean from a clear axis. A simple development was proposed, blend in with the site and with minimal intervention. The architectural program contemplated the retirement home for a couple, Martha and Bill, as well as a space for the plastic arts. The lot has dimensions of 15 x 40 meters, on a terrain of rugged topography. Located between the municipalities of Ensenada and Rosarito, in the urban area of La Misión, where the landscape is densified with architectural typologies for tourism. It is a different idea of the web, which we might call slow web.Ĭasa Martha is the home of an archaeologist, so it is designed with rudimental and artisanal techniques, conceived with the aim of unifying time, form and context through its composition and materiality of ancestral origin. banners, pop-ups or other distracting noise. No "click me," "tweet me, "share me,” "like me." No advertising. Behind all this there is the certainty that we can do better than the fast, distracted web we know today, where the prevailing business model is: "you make money only if you manage to distract your readers from the contents of your own site." With divisare we want to offer the possibility, instead, of perceiving content without distractions. ![]() ![]() A long, patient job of cataloguing, done by hand: image after image, project after project, post after post. Every Collection in our Atlas tells a particular story, conveys a specific viewpoint from which to observe the last 20 years of contemporary architecture. Our model was the bookcase, on whose shelves we have gathered and continue to collect hundreds and hundreds of publications by theme. So we began to build divisare not vertically, but horizontally. May be because we wanted to distinguish divisare from the web that is condemned to a sort of vertical communication, always with the newest architecture at the top of the page, as the "cover story," "the focus."Ĭontent that was destined, just like the oh-so-new architecture that had just preceded it a few hours earlier, to rapidly slide down, day after day, lower and lower, in a vertical plunge towards the scrapheap of page 2.
