A FULL-CG animated piece that tries to illustrate architecture art across a photographic point of view where main subjects are already-built spaces. Sometimes in an abstract way. Sometimes surreal.
 

 

Tenerife and Valencia
by menis.es

Architecture practice, founded in 2004 by Fernando MENIS, after deciding to start a new phase, independent of his former partners, with whom he had been established as an architect, during a long history of 30 years.

MENIS Arquitectos stands as a practice of high-quality architecture, far from the standards, with a strong craft workshop and establishing a method of working closely linked to the personal career of the Architect founder. This method is based on a passion for manual labor that remains intact from his childhood. The work with models involves hands, charged with emotion, to approach the project: a continuous process of addition and removal that sets according to program needs, constructive rationality and economic viability.

There is a deep interest at MENIS Arquitectos, for the reuse of natural and environmental resources, be those cultural or historical, as the means of each project and each site. Common sense in dealing with raw materials and their true potential in the context where it is inserted is the framework in which reason and emotion are combined, the two categories present in the work of the office and of the personal evolution of Fernando Menis.

MENIS Arquitectos has offices in Tenerife, Valencia and an infrastructure under development in Poland. In its new phase, Fernando Menis opens up to a wider variety of projects and geographical areas, giving an international drive to his work.

Internationally known for important work in co-authorship (Swimming Pool in the River Spree, Berlin, 200; Magma Arte & Congress, 2005; Presidency of the Canary Islands, 1999), Fernando Menis is currently developing projects of great variety of types.
