Publisher's Synopsis
Guillermo Hevia Garcìa stands out among the latest generation of Chilean architects for his sensitive focus on his projects' public impact, expressed in the ways his buildings obey their own internal logic and respect their local cultural, social and spatial contexts. Every Design Conceals an Order compiles 13 of the architect's designs: built works, projects currently underway and competition entries. Each building is accompanied by a section on the architecture's imaginary context, the visual references Hevia Garcìa mobilized in his working process. The publication also shows Hevia Garcìa's approaches to architectural representation, as he deploys techniques ranging from planimetrics, axonometric projections and models, renders and illustrations. This is an important part of Hevia Garcìa's work, allowing him to give form to his ideas as he explores his intentions and the complexities of the project in order to develop entirely buildable projects.
