ALBERTO CAMPO BAEZA'S DREAMED HOUSES: NOSTALGIA

Alberto Campo Baeza's work focuses on the exploration of the fundamentals of architecture from the self-restraint and wisdom that experiece can provide. However, despite being one of the most renowned Spanish architects, he keeps working in domestic as well as institutional projects. Probably, the reason is that he finds in the houses a field of experimentation at a small scale that allows him to put his ideas into practice later on in major works. In all likelihood, the explanation is that, in the house, Campo Baeza identifies the keys of human dwelling, and he develops them from the usual typologies: the cave, the cabin and the courtyard house. Creating dreamed houses is not an easy thing to do, specially when one dreams them for other people. Nevertheless, the artistic career of this architect has proved that dreams sometimes come true.
