In a recent interview, architect Adrian Saballos shared his approach to creating immersive, sensory-driven architecture. Saballos highlighted the significance of discovery in design, where elements like light and texture inspire exploration and connection. He emphasized that natural light is crucial, providing well-being and depth through contrasts in lighting.
Saballos also discussed his method of integrating local culture into projects. His recent work in Saldes, nestled among mountainous rock formations, illustrates his “acupuncture” approach to placement, blending architecture with the surrounding landscape. Saballos believes architecture evolves through its interaction with people, revealing new ways they embrace spaces—often in ways even the architect couldn’t predict.
