"Carme Pinós’s architecture engages her strength of reason with compassion for humanity, harmonizing emotion, and rationality," Mori commented. "Each building is embedded within the terrain, connecting and transforming its context. Her curvilinear forms blend with their surroundings, blurring the boundary between physical world and memory. A complex series of sections within each project results in spectacular spatial experiences, while the innate rationality of her plans is influenced by her lyrical intuition to become fluid expressions of openness."
