Philosophy
To built means to intervene in the environment in the landscape in which we live in as
much as to construct a building.
Rafael Moneo on the Arbitrariness of Architecture-
Has to do creation of a place .
Has to do with a creation of how landscape with a building itself and
establishes a prominent public space .The building is comprise of parts-
-Prismatic Volume which serves as the entrance , public spaces and host the
Research Labs, the library and small auditions.
-Sharp and intense , the volume ignores its surroundings or better still,
Answers with rage the hostile buildings that have worn down the previously
beautiful slope
Some of his Works are
Iesu Church, San Sebastian, Spain by Rafael Moneo
Residential development hugs the banks of the Urumea River,
and Loiola is a neighbouring suburb, not a stream.
It feels vacant and anonymous, Moneo designed an
understated composition of white cubes for the parish center
and church, with a basement supermarket to provide income
and guarantee that this becomes a point of focus for the
entire neighbourhood.
A Basque firm, Lur Paisajistak, won a competition for the
adjoining park, but Moneo wove them together with his curvilinear
landscaping in the plaza to the north.
