In this episode of Materico Architecture podcast, Ludovica and Leonardo discuss with Meritxell Inaraja about the respectful touch that an architect shall have to pre-existence. She shares her personal approach to a renovation project that involve a piece of heritage. “Respect the past but think about the future” is her philosophy, always with a view to deriving a useful project for society, her first interest.
For her vision, an architect should play with all the sensations, feelings and meanings involved in art and make them functional for people and the community through the quality of spaces.
As usual, a set of meaningful images that help following the conversation are delivered at the bottom of this page, but if you want to see something more you can take a look at the studio website meritxellinaraja.com.
