“La Curutchet habitada” is the title of a forthcoming book that records research developed by the Department of Interior Architecture and Furniture of the Instituto de Proyecto de FADU-Udelar, Uruguay, of which we share a small preview originally published in the magazine Summa+ 189 in December 2021.
For our discipline, the delight of the architectural experience is quite often linked in the first instance to abstract qualities of space that often do not even take into account the architectural programme. In this sense, “La Curutchet”, rather than as a dwelling, is often appreciated as a phenomenological experience – perceptive, spatial and temporal – that verges on perfection.
