Parlot Garden
The chosen stone has not been worked by humans, yet it contains within itself the essence of the material the Incas chose to build their sites. It is an element that supports, frames, and makes possible an architecture deeply integrated with nature.
Machu Picchu, nestled high in the Peruvian Andes, is a testament to the ingenuity and work ethic of the Incas. With effort, knowledge, and a profound connection to the landscape, they masterfully worked with stone, achieving extraordinary results: terraces, plazas, and temples that blend seamlessly with the mountains, creating a place where engineering, aesthetics, and spirituality coexist in harmony.
We do not seek to replicate Machu Picchu, but rather to convey an image that deeply captivated me and represents it: a stone that becomes the center of the site, supporting the existence of a solitary tree amidst a landscape filled with magic and tranquility. This is the image I want to take to Barcelona as a symbol of our history in our Latin American architecture, where stone and tree meet, and together form a small garden that celebrates architecture, nature, memory, and the extraordinary ability to create architecture within the landscape.
