8 de agosto de 2013 (a propósito de) límites, espacio > [ver +] [English]Patxi Mangado: Knowing the limits is our ongoing struggle. The limits of investigation, the limits of our proposals, our own limits. We live in a world of open limits: limits, which, at the end of the day, are defined by the research field of our work. Limits are synonymous with doubt. If you didn’t have doubts then interest, progress and risk would not exist either. On the one hand I want to extend my limits; but on the other hand I have my doubts, I’m afraid to....

18 de julio de 2013 (a propósito de) programa – investigación > [ver +] [English] Patxi Mangado: Just don’t ask me to work a computer. Unfortunately, computers have become an objective in themselves.

I research something,...

16 de julio de 2013 (a propósito de) ETSAUN >>> [ver +] [English]Patxi Mangado: I got my first real sense of what architecture was all about from Javier Carvajal, during my fourth year at university. The faculty was really just starting to take off then, but it was all very provincial. The lecturers meant well, and some of the more technical subjects were quite well taught, but it was all rather amateurish. There was no way you could make mistakes, or take risks. Javier Carvajal was the first one  person who talked to us about risky architecture, warts and...

10 de junio de 2013 (a propósito de) Estella >>> [ver +] [scalae pliego Patxi Mangado online]1st extract | primer extracto [English] [ > Español] Patxi Mangado and Félix Arranz in conversation. 2004. Félix Arranz: We fly along in Patxi Mangado’s car up to the vantage point of his studio in Pamplona, where we chat. Lots of people greet him along the way: he appears to be very popular and well liked.
