About Pedro Quintela : The Architect is a firm believer in the art that consciously develops as a process of evolution, as with nature, connected in three phases: Adaptation (immediate responses of the object and place); Transformation (reflection) and crystallization (Creation). Just going through this process, he considers a work to be authentic and respectful to the ‘the spirit of the place’
STATEMENT OF ART:
