Round table “About Pilotis and other recurring images”
Santiago Borja, Michel Blancsubé and Lorenzo Rocha
October 13, 2011
Santiago Borja’s work emphasises in craft production and traditional knowledge of non-western cultures, reconfiguring its value in the present. His most recent projects arise from the formal similarities between indigenous techniques and procedures and the Magical Thinking contained in the Modernist Architecture line of thought. In his interventions, Borja often collaborates with artisans, where dialogue and exchange of knowledge become key to the final resolution of each project.
