Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Polimen House in Biscay, Spain by COLL-BARREU ARQUITECTOSSeptember 16th, 2014 by Sumit Singhal

It was uncertain. It is the result of having quickly filled an open mine, with pits up to 50 m deep, which formed a cavernous place in its physical reality and its memory.

Policemen House’s concatenated planes are perceived from distant areas and set up a close relationship with the steep topography of the slope.

The present construction is a system of layers. It is paper. We do not understand that the current architecture tries to simulate a massive construction, because the massive construction no longer exists.

It is appropriate that the policemen house has been made of paper, it is part of our democratic contract: the police are a piece of paper. Our buildings are paper, as they are our security, our convictions, our society: uncertain, temporary, fleeting.
