New Trends of Architecture

Exhibition Design (for Cloud9)

I worked for Enric Ruiz-Geli (Cloud9) for couple years before moving to New York, while I was still finishing college. If I add this small project here is because he literally dump it on me. It was small so I did it all. But there was so much ancieties cause the show was schedule to go to Luxemburg (not Barcelona) and the whole Meeting Point (a construction fair where we ended up installaing the show) was already all planned.


It was a nightmare to organize. Enric told me I could run a building construction after what I pulled off. So I am including it.


Also because it was a great experience working at Cloud9. The team of super young super talented people was amazing and we were like a little family of friends. Few of them even lived with me, renting rooms in my big house near the office, and it was a great job experience.


For all his difficult personality, Enric is a great architect (who doesn´t listen to his clients) with visionary ideas. He needs big money to trust him :))

Project Gallery

Idée Fixe  is a Transdisciplinary Studio of Art and Architecture, run by Cristina Guadalupe Galván.

If in a website you normally find finished objects and products to share, what we are sharing here are more ideas – tested, developed and lived -- and their processes, that in many instances ended up happily physical. The creative process is about experimentation and the life that goes with it. The life and the people.

While building this site I came across a quote that explained it to me much better, by architects Josep Ferrando & Marta Poch, for their Quaderns d´Arquitectura, issue 273, THE THINKING TRADE:

      In a world dominated by images of the finished object and the immediacy of access to multimedia content, this issue of Quaderns sets out to reflect on the role of the architect –by means of their working processes, of the working methods (…) leaving the image of the built project on the background.

For artist Sol LeWitt, the process was also the work:

      The idea becomes a machine that makes the art. (...) It is the process of conception and realization with which the artist is concerned. 

Architect Josep Maria Sostres said something similar:

      The project, obviously as a mental conception, as a will to form, has a sovereignty, it has an internal power that must be imposed.

So this archive-website of Idee-Fixe, records more these ideas, processes and in many instances the collaborations that made them possible.

It´s about THE LIFE OF IDEAS.
