Designing With the Desert: Lecture — Landscapes of Intimacy, by Sandra Barclay from Barclay and Crousse Studio, Lima, Peru

In this second installment of the Designing With the Desert series, Sandra Barclay from the Barclay & Crousse studio based in Lima, Peru brings a lecture titled "Landscapes of Intimacy" to present the Barclay & Crousse studio work.

In each project the Barclay & Crousse studio explores the bonds between culture, territory, climate, place, and technology, constituting the main ingredients at their disposal. Working with what is available helps the Barclay & Crousse studio formulate good questions about the means they have to engage and the meaning that our buildings will convey. In the same way, the German scientist Alexander Von Humboldt was the first European to realize that the section, and not the plan, is the only way to understand the central Andes region, Sandra Barclay shows all of their projects through sections and not plans.
