AMANCIO WILLIAMS.
Amancio Williams (1913-1989), Argentine architect who, between
1943 to 1946, constructed, in the Argentine outskirts of Sea of the Silver, the
House of the Bridge. It was raised on a narrow water obstacle (today
disappeared). The heart of this house no longer is the distribution of forms,
neatness of a design. Its sense is now its power of communication. |

The house must unite; communicate two borders, two Earth
margins. Thus, the house is bridge. And the bridge is what crosses, which
furrows, which is entered in the vein of the natural space, of the same space.
The house of Williams submerges in the specialty where official notices exist
and of way it synchronizes the foliages of the nature and the human
construction. For that reason, the House of the Bridge breathes next to the
hairs of leaves, the curls of the exultant vegetation (to see carried photo and,
down, image to extend).
HOUSE OF THE BRIDGE - SEA OF SILVER 1945.
Mathew streets, Funes, Saavedra and the routes of the Gral. Railroad Rock. The
House of the Bridge, also well known like House of the Stream, is work of the
Arq. Amancio Williams, last representative of the puristic period of the Modern
Movement, which introduced revolutionary changes in the form to understand and
to make architecture in Argentina. With a magnificent landscaping implantation,
in the middle of leafy woods, the construction develops technological
characteristics of vanguard to cover the Stream with the Small farms, to the way
of a bridge. It was conceived as a "inserted form" in the space, and as much
their structure as their materials (martelinited concrete, at sight) is shown
the naked one. "This house is the almost solitary testimony of an architecture
that it wanted to be universal, but whose abstract and in temporal character did
not allow him to root in the popular taste". The work was directed by the
architect Williams between years 1943 and 1945, and was residence of its Alberto
father Williams, famous Argentine composer. |
