Sumario:[EN] Although small and discreet, it is a work not easily understood, let alone digest. To appreciate it as it deserves to be, it requires the suspension of judgment, and a careful and delayed approach to every detail. As always -but especially here- describing it, is not a dispensable task, but a basic and fundamental step. Especially when we know who the author is, and for that matter, is a great temptation to forget the thing-work and only comment on the person-architect; and even more tempting to try and “explain” with metaphors of what it is not, instead of appreciating its tectonic nature, proportion, gaps and materials.
