Tre triangoli equilateri stretti in una tensione plastico-planimetrica che converge a formare un fronte unitario da una parte e uno acuminato dall’altra. Il portico colonnato adiacente alla strada, con un andamento poligonale ad essa congruente, crea un corridoio coperto che collega i tre volumi della stalla, della casa del custode e del magazzino. Gli interstizi tra questi prismi costruiti, dovuti all’arretramento del volume chiuso per lasciare spazio al loggiato, evocano alla memoria - propiziamente - gli scorci rosselliniani di Pienza. La struttura per servizi del Ranch Agavero a Tequila trova nella sua matrice euclidea l’improbabile alleata per una flessibilità e adattabilità morfologica e distributiva, senza temere future addizioni e rimaneggiamenti legati alle necessità produttive. L’origine geometrica scelta dallo studio 1540 Arquitectura per questo complesso di edifici, infatti, ben si adatta anche all’irregolarità dell’orografia locale. Stagliati su delle basi in calcestruzzo pigmentato, i volumi di mattone chiaro coperti dal solaio in voltine di laterizio sono la cifra di un atto compositivo sintetico che fa dell’onestà tettonica l’etica di un approccio compositivo euclideo, per costruire spazi di qualità con pochi gesti ed elementi.

Abstract
Three equilateral triangles tightened in a plastic-planimetric tension that converges to form a unitary front on one side and a sharp one on the other. The colonnaded portico adjacent to the road, with a polygonal shape congruent with it, creates a covered corridor connecting the three volumes of the stable, the caretaker’s house and the warehouse. The interstices between these constructed prisms, due to the retreat of the closed volume to leave space for the loggia, evoke the memory of Rossellini’s views of Pienza. The service structure of the Agavero Ranch in Tequila finds in its Euclidean matrix an unlikely ally for morphological and distributive flexibility and adaptability, without fear of future additions and reworking to meet production needs. The geometric origin chosen by 1540 Arquitectura for this complex of buildings is well suited to the irregularity of the local terrain. Standing out against pigmented concrete bases, the light brick volumes covered by the brick vaulted ceiling are the mark of a synthetic compositional act which makes tectonic honesty the ethics of a Euclidean compositional approach, to build quality spaces with a few gestures and elements.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
