Our 3rd stop is at Flores & Prats Architects atelier (Barcelona, Space) alongside Ricardo Flores and Eva Prats. Take your time to listen to their thoughts. The “slow process” of “intense accumulation of time” is how you can get “new interests, new problems and new possibilities” out of a project. Really, just take your time. Enjoy the process. Otherwise you are missing the best part. “What we like the most about the project is the doing of the thing, the process, the in-between.” Eva and Ricardo are very keen on deciding without making decisions. They, somehow work with open possibilities instead of close-ended solutions. That is probably why their projects are forever ruins. “This open condition of the ruin allows everyone to feel at home in a way.” Let’s thing of it as a second hand coat, you buy it, “then you put your hand in the pocket and you find something forgotten there, and it is a beautiful surprise.” And they find these treasure in their projects as well! “We value all layers with equal importance. Just like in a person, it’s the accumulation of experiences that makes the building so rich.” “That’s why we keep a small office, because we want to keep drawing ourselves.”  Guest: Ricardo Flores + Eva Prats - Flores & Prats Architects (Barcelona, Spain) Host: Ana Catarina Silva (Porto, Portugal) Upload your references to: ⁠arquiteturaentrevistas.com⁠ Instagram ⁠@arquiteturaentrevistas⁠ ⁠Follow⁠ for more thoughts on architecture.
