TBLRS
Tablarasa(tblrs) was a project from Medellín, Colombia, composed of three architects: Santiago Restrepo, Iojann Restrepo (Barranco) and Santiago Madrigal. Its practice was based on attributes identification of things and the study of their modifications through natural phenomena and artisanal techniques.











Each project was a different exercise where the elements that compose it generate a unique and particular spatial situation. 













Experience and contemplation are the approach to an idea that can inaugurate a new place.













The transformation in the spatial layout is the idea of change, inauguration.


4444 metalThe objects from this serie were created with the idea of ​​expressing in a simple way the technification of natural resources. Revealing, through form, the nature of the material.
 Thinking about the organic nature of a processed material such as metal tends to generate more questions than answers. Thinking about its technification, the heat that melts it at more than 1000°C, then the roll by which it is flattened and then the texture that is left imprinted, carries within itself the memory of the rock from which it was extracted.
