Casa de Retiro Espiritual, Córdoba, Spain (Axonometric)
Emilio Ambasz
Argentine, born 1943
1979
An axonometric drawing by Emilio Ambasz, rendered in airbrush and graphite on paper mounted on foamcore, that imagines a serene, modern retreat in Córdoba where architecture and landscape are conceived as a single, contemplative composition.
The work exemplifies Ambasz’s influential approach of integrating buildings and nature—an early, poetic statement of ecological modernism that helped shift architectural thinking toward landscape-embedded, environmentally attentive design.
