ESPIRAL is an architectural office focused on delivering solutions. Based in Santiago de Chile in 2011. Our Field of work is situated in the resolution of the different complexities and realities presented by each case. Our approach to the solution is developed by the work of “Lo Simple”. Our work is developed in assuming the limitations and virtues of each case; perceptions, expectations, contextually, socially, climatic, economically or historically. These topics are implemented trough discourse coherence in the project process, which we understand as a fundamental part for the production of holistic and integral proposals. This lucid integration system is understood as the sum of all variables that build a project.
The spiral in different cultures and cosmologies, both in the East and in the West, throughout history symbolizes the birth, death and the reincarnation. This cycle is an exponential sequence of events that combines the physical and the metaphysical magnitudes that affect us and represents the growth that occurs in the journey that we make during our existence.
“Lo Simple” we understand it as a way of seeing things trough the essence that composes them. In the simplicity we see beauty, elegance and belonging. Working from the valuation of Lo Simple allows us to generate practical, conscious and precise answers.
