A.MAG 15: FRAN SILVESTRE ARQUITECTOS
Based in Valencia, Fran Silvestre Arquitectos reflects an architecture of rigour based on the systematic use of sharp geometric forms and the language of whiteness. The way the houses relate to the surrounding landscapes, the fluid organization of their interiors, and how large glazed surfaces open to the outside might recall the California modernism that emerged in the 1950s.
