Field Notes:

Metal lattices stone basins and flowing water create rooms where surface constantly generates interior

Defining Moment:

The deep pit and well works where patterned panels and liquid cavities fold ground into a layered structural skin

Cristina Iglesias

(

1956–

)

Iglesias built a world where casts, vegetation, and stone form immersive passages — spaces that breathe between architecture and fiction.

Her works turn transition into structure.

Structural Focus

Boundary as Event

Edges, margins, thresholds, or limits carry meaning. Structure concentrates where form nearly disappears.

In Cristina Iglesias’s work, this approach appears where architectural sculpture organizes passage, enclosure, and threshold.

Material Intelligence

Material behavior actively determines structural decisions.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Atmosphere

Atmosphere accumulates through calibrated light, tone, and spatial pacing.

Material

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Space

Space is structured through openings, intervals, and boundary conditions.

Art

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Contemporary

Current practice engages inherited structures under present conditions.

Sculptural Modernism

Modernist form asserts volume, mass, and spatial presence.
