Today we present a selection of creators from disciplines such as visual arts and architecture who work or worked with their colleagues in their profession but, above all, in life.
Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal. This creative couple originally from France, Founder of Lacaton & Vassal, she is recognized for her multiple sustainable housing projects and for the Palais de Tokyo and the FRAC Nord-Pas de Calais Gallery, for contemporary art in Paris. This past year, the 2021 Pritzker Prize , architecture's highest honor, was awarded to them. In their work they always prioritize the enrichment of human life, benefiting the individual and supporting the evolution of the city.
Christo and Jeanne-Claude. The projects of this duo, from Bulgaria and Morocco, respectively, stand out for their monumental character, although they have never used traditional materials. Instead, they established a concept based on helping the public find a new way to relate to the environment, using fabric to wrap gigantic buildings, such as the Reichstag in Berlin, the Pont Neuf in Paris or the Surrounded Islands of Miami.
Denise Scott Brown and Robert Venturi. This couple of architects from Philadelphia proposed, faced with the forms and philosophy of the house as the living machine, a new conception based on architecture as solutions to habitability problems, through which history could be reviewed, for which incorporated elements from different styles in a unique way. His works include Casa Vanna Venturi, Guild House and his numerous books.
