Cristián Izquierdo

Chilean architect Cristián Izquierdo was reluctant to get into the family business—both parents are architects, while several uncles and his brother are in construction—but in the last decade, he has embraced the profession, creating a series of stunning private residences and larger housing complexes. “We have tried to develop projects conceived as pavilions, constructions governed by an autonomous system of relations based on culturally shared ideas. We are interested in mediating the gap between the eloquence of its rules and the uncertainty of its interpretation.”
