Casa Ter - Concept Design

Though in everyday life we tend to think we passively occupy our spaces, architecture is the optical instrument that can help us be aware of it. As filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein’s 1938 essay Montage and Architecture first suggested, architecture guides us through space, much like the montage of a film does when cropping, framing and abstracting. If architecture is capable of shaping a more meaningful experience of space, we wanted to not only let the surroundings define the design of a new house in Rupià, but to guide the user’s gaze towards it, and the Mediterranean way of living.
