This year marks the 30th<\/sup> anniversary of Barayazarra + Casteres, an architecture and design studio headquartered in San Sebasti\u00e1n that specializes in creating spaces and objects closely linked to people. To celebrate, the firm’s founders \u2013Ignacio Barayazarra and Charo Casteres, architects with degrees from the San Sebasti\u00e1n Higher Technical School of Architecture\u2013 have summarized their journey in a publication, doing so with the participation of clients and suppliers who have accompanied them throughout the numerous projects they have undertaken over these three decades. Architectural work, interior design work, public works, design of spaces, objects, and jewelry… the jobs they have done are numerous and are located both throughout the Basque Country and also in other autonomous communities. The pair have always approached their craft aiming to provide order and balance from the greater structural part right down to the smallest detail, all the while listening to the people who are to use their creations. Beauty (understood as integration of form and function to the maximum extent possible), wellbeing, respect for the client, and intimacy (their creations are very personal and closely linked to their clients) have always been \u2013and continue to be\u2013 the four pillars on which their professional practice is based. They design from a concept and story that they mold by hand, inspired by stimuli capable of transmitting emotion and the beautiful forms of architecture, nature, art.<\/p>\n

Convinced that the cycles of life help them to grow and reinvent themselves, the publication of their book coincides with a new dynamic that they are going to implement in their creative proposals \u2013 something which has to do with the scale of the projects they are currently tackling: they want to focus increasingly more on the creation of sculpture jewelry. These are pieces conceived from an architectural perspective that become jewels when worn on the human body and become sculptures when perched atop a custom-made base for their display. In addition to their studio\/gallery in the San Mart\u00edn neighborhood, these sculpture jewels are available at the Sorgin Gallery of San Sebasti\u00e1n, as well as at the Guggenheim Museum of Bilbao and the Thyssen-Bornemisza National Museum of Madrid. It’s a new way of conceiving jewelry, elevating it to the category of art.<\/p>\n
