Onnis Luque The capitalist system produces large-scale human migration from exploited and precarious territories toward those of the Global North, territories that themselves exploit, precarize, and actively contribute to the conditions that drive migration. There, precarious and exploitative forms of labor are offered as an opportunity, often the only one, for sustaining the lives of families and entire communities. These migratory flows involve not only bodies, but also remittances sent by migrant workers to their families, as well as the circulation of aspirations and dreams of owning a home in one’s place of origin. Adam develops a taxonomic study of these dreams, materialized as a free architecture through informal and non-professional practices. The work reveals the irony of constructing a house that, in many cases, the very conditions of economic precarity and labor exploitation that made it possible will ultimately prevent its owners from inhabiting.

SIMON FROMMENWILER Interior spaces that function as public space have always fascinated me, and this one takes it further — a fully open, accessible sports infrastructure under one iconic roof. That roof is the whole identity of the building: a genuinely bold piece of engineering, achieved without a single column. Infrastructure architecture at its best.
