An ancient Spanish house set amidst 350 hectares in the beguiling terrain of Girona, Spain, and a riddle for the architect Will Alsop. '...I was taken there by my client. We arrived at a house. I felt instant affinity to this place. I asked, 'Why did you buy this?' He answered 'That is your project - to tell me.' A retreat, a place of education; what will become of it? Las Heras will be an educational resource for anyone; particularly architectural and art institutions. Groups of up to 15 people may visit, explore the landscape and find places where something can be constructed to sleep/relax in. They must use materials 'found' on the site, but not
exclusively. The book describes the house's history to date and explores an alternative master-plan for the land; with appendices on the Flora & Fauna, a Cookbook and a Guide for Visitors.publiarq.com
