REDISCOVERING HOUSE OF LUDGO
Trace of Lines — Gustavo Mendez-Liska, Juan Muñoz
Gustavos & Juan proposal does not impose itself upon the building; it emerges from a careful reading of its existing lines. It is a revelation rather than an intervention.
Trace of Lines is a temporary, collective installation that understands the house as a system of interconnected planes and voids across the x, y and z dimensions. The fissures between slabs, structural spans, functional connections and vertical openings are approached as active lines: they separate and simultaneously connect.
The project operates within this duality, positive/negative, solid/void, past/present, constructing spatial compositions that underline what is already embedded within the architecture.
Materiality and Memory
The timber formwork that once shaped the openings and left its imprint on the concrete returns symbolically to the site. What was once mould and negative space reappears as present object. In this way, a material archaeology is activated: the building is read as archive, and each intervention becomes an additional temporal layer.
