​Artist Statement
Through the centuries, each civilization has typically had different types of dwellings developed by the society of the time. Vitruvius, a 1st century Roman architect, described the three qualities required of architecture in his treatise, De architectura as being: Firmness, Usefulness, and Delight; these include aesthetic, sensual, and intellectual qualities. Silvia PintoSouza explains, “No matter where I go, I recognize these architectural qualities and when viewing dwellings from afar, I feel invited to imagine what goes on in these spaces. Each one of those structures has many stories to tell. Their walls touch but they hide so many separate intimate activities of their inhabitants. The buildings are alive; they resemble their occupants and their cultural values. I feel there is so much activity enclosed in those walls; all the years of continuous settlement and successive interventions have each left their imprints. They tell me from every corner, ‘Life is happening here!’
