Fundación Higueras Edited by: Ediciones Asimétricas, Museo ICO, Ministerio de Fomento Graphic Design: Soda Comunicación Printed in Spain, 2019. ISBN: 978-84-949798-9-7 Language: Spanish, English “For me popular architecture was one of the main sources of learning, as there I found naturalness, appropriateness, order, function, logic, economy, trade, uniformity and variation that I cannot see in such perfect harmony in any of architectures of today’s architects”. “Para mí la arquitectura popular fue una de las principales fuentes de enseñanza, pues en ella encontré la naturalidad, la adecuación, el orden, la función, la lógica, la economía, el oficio, la uniformidad, y variación que no consigo ver tan perfectamente armonizados en cualquiera de las arquitecturas de arquitectos de hoy.” “This submission to the origins, the world, the earthly and the human is what makes Fernando Higueras a timeless architect, out of time, an aternal classic who I, without really understanding, understood from my Colegio Estudio.Children like his architecture precisely because it is as beautiful as a mineral or a landscape, because it convokes the sun and the elements to enjoy its spaces, because it reminds us that we are alive and that we love , because it is physichal and sensorial, because it encourages, because his work can be understood by itself, because his spaces hold the magic of dusk, a burning fire, because when we live in it, simply, naturally, harmoniously and misteriously, we are happier.” “Y esa obediencia a los orígenes, al mundo, a lo terrenal y lo humano es lo que convierte a Fernando Higueras en un arquitecto atemporal, sin tiempo, un clásico eterno que yo, sin comprender, comprendí desde mi Colegio Estudio.
