Magui Gonzalez - Interview by Studio Banana TV

Published: July 10, 2009, 7 p.m.

Studio Banana TV interviews Magüi Gonzalez, author of the sea-side Ruiz House in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. The house is situated in a fishermen’s neighborhood on the island of Gran Canaria in a landscape dominated by self-built houses and shanty dwellings, and sits apparently unfinished in this place on the city outskirts. Intended for an artist, it consists of a single interconnected space on two floors and a habitable basement, of great height and as unobstructed as possible. Three equivalent spaces: the basement for video projections, the beach level for social life, and the upper level for sleeping.
