SAMUEL BRAVO CHILOÉ ISLAND, CHILE

2017 Wheelwright Prize1

Chilean Architect Samuel Bravo Wins 2017 Wheelwright PrizeHarvard GSD’s $100,000 traveling fellowship to fund Bravo’s research proposal Projectless: Architecture of Informal Settlements

PRESS RELEASE

Cambridge, MA — Harvard University Graduate School of Design (GSD) is pleased to name Chilean architect Samuel Bravo the winner of the 2017 Wheelwright Prize, a $100,000 grant to support investigative approaches to contemporary design. His research proposal, Projectless: Architecture of Informal Settlements, focuses on traditional architectures and informal settlements, revisiting the subject of “architecture without architects” as articulated by Bernard Rudofsky in the landmark 1964 Museum of Modern Art exhibition. Bravo plans to visit dozens of sites in South America, Asia, and Africa, with the goal of developing strategies to integrate vernacular, collective practices with the modern architectural project.

Bravo was among four finalists selected from more than 200 applicants in over 45 countries. A graduate of the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile (BArch 2009), he leads his own practice and has realized a variety of projects in South America. His past work includes organizing community-based rebuilding in earthquake-damaged Tarapacá, Chile; designing and building a lodge/shamanic center and school for the Shipibo people of the Amazonian rain forest in Peru (a collaboration with architect Sandra Iturriaga); and several private residential commissions.

Bravo’s Wheelwright proposal Projectless begins by acknowledging that formal architecture addresses a minority of the world’s population, while the vast majority lives in informally built dwellings. Rudofsky, an architect and social historian, characterized the projects in his 1964 exhibition as “not produced by the specialist but by the spontaneous and continuing activity of a whole people with a common heritage, acting under a community of experience.” Bravo extends this notion to his study of the traditions and methods that enable formal architectureto operate “within the paradigm of projectless environments,” sensitive to the potential

“cultural frictions” associated with restructuring problematic settlements.

Bravo’s travels will begin in the Amazon basin, home to 400 ethnic groups including some still-isolated tribes, and continue to the Amazon flatlands, where he will visit dozens of settlements, large and small, from Peru to Colombia to Brazil. He will observe pristine settlements as well as those that are being transformed by development, resource extraction, and migration. He will continue to Africa, where urban centers (such as Lagos, Nigeria) are experiencing extreme population growth while their governments, NGOs, and civic organizations struggle to control and improve “projectless environments.” In Asia, he plans to visit Bangladesh, Nepal, and India, where he has identified a range of case studies, from traditional villages to global slums. As with past Wheelwright winners, the $100,000 prize is intended to fund two years of Bravo’s research travel.

Bravo’s work has been exhibited in the XVII and XVIII Chile Architecture Biennial in Santiago (2010 and 2012), earning a Jury Selection in the latter; and in the Chilean Pavilion at the 12th International Architecture Exhibition at the Venice Biennale (2010). His projects have been published in ARQ,

2 Harvard University GSD

Casabella, Engineering + Research (Colombia), Journal CA, and other publications. Bravo was also one of four finalists in the 2016 Wheelwright Prize cycle.

Bravo follows 2016 winner Anna Puigjaner, whose winning project Kitchenless City: Architectural Systems for Social Welfare has involved site visits in Senegal, Malaysia, Thailand, and Mexico, with Canada, Russia, Japan, Peru, and elsewhere on her forthcoming itinerary.

Now in its fifth year as an open international competition, the Wheelwright Prize supports travel-based research initiatives proposed by extraordinary early-career architects. Previous winners have circled the globe, pursuing inquiries into a broad range of social, cultural, environmental, and technological issues. “Samuel Bravo is a sophisticated designer and a mature thinker, qualities that make him an ideal candidate for this year’s Wheelwright Prize,” says Mohsen Mostafavi, Dean and Alexander and Victoria Wiley Professor of Design at Harvard GSD. “His work on its own is striking, and the participatory design-build process he has refined over time is additionally compelling. In resurrecting ideas about so-called ‘non-pedigreed’ architecture and expanding the scope of his research and practice internationally, Bravo’s project opens up new and exciting paths for the next generation of architects.”

Wheelwright Prize winners are invited to present their findings at Harvard GSD. Brooklyn-based architect Gia Wolff, winner of the first edition of the new Wheelwright Prize competition in 2013, presented her research, Floating Cities: The Community-Based Architecture of Parade Floats, as part of the GSD’s Spring 2015 lecture series. The 2014 winner, Barcelona-based architect Jose Ahedo, presented Domesticated Grounds: Design and Domesticity Within an Animal Farming System in Fall 2016. (Links to their presentations are found on the Wheelwright Prize and Harvard GSD websites.) The 2015 winner, Singapore-based architect Erik L’Heureux, will present Hot and Wet: The Equatorial City and Architectures of Atmosphere in the school’s upcoming lecture series.

Jurors’ Comments

Gordon Gill : “Samuel Bravo’s work is thoughtful and meaningful. His ability to develop architecture that is contextually and technically specific to a targeted skill set is compelling from a design as well as an educational perspective. His proposal to study architecture that ‘happens’—that is defined by its construction processes and collective efforts—reflects his own evolving process. I am pleased that the Wheelwright Prize will support his investigations and nurture ideas that have exciting consequences for architecture.”

K. Michael Hays: “Samuel Bravo’s proposal relates to the current architectural desire for self-reflective practice with social impact, and a spate of exhibitions and publications about designing for expanded audiences and publics. But what makes Bravo’s work and research proposal stand out is his particularly strong articulation of design as a response to a host of complex issues, from the experiential qualities of building materials to the systems of their extraction and distribution, from preserving craft to allowing for sustainable development, from promoting autonomy with regards to local labor to planning for urban connectivity. Bravo’s intelligence and rigor cut through multiple layers architectural concerns.”

Mariana Ibañez: “Samuel Bravo’s work manages to combine two important architectural conditions that are not easy to combine. His work holds the promise of innovation while dealing with some of the most urgent issues that press the architecture profession. His proposition of merging local knowledge—a mix of techniques and tools that have been developed over time—with contemporary sensibilities and technical possibilities has the potential to produce an exciting body of work. Bravo’s proposal clearly continues a line of investigation to which he has been committed throughout his young career, and the Wheelwright Prize will no doubt help him strengthen his approach as he grows.”

Mohsen Mostafavi: “Samuel Bravo is a sophisticated designer and a mature thinker, qualities that make him an ideal candidate for the Wheelwright Prize. His work on its own is striking, and the participatory design-build process he has refined over time is additionally compelling. In resurrecting ideas about so-called ‘non-pedigreed’ architecture and expanding the scope of his research and practice internationally, Bravo’s project opens up new and exciting paths for the next generation of architects.”

Gia Wolff: “The Wheelwright Prize is unique in its power to propel an architect on his or her particular career trajectory. Only a prize that prioritizes travel and open-ended discovery could allow an architect to do what Samuel Bravo wants and needs to do—to experience situations likely to range from primitive to chaotic, to live with and learn from diverse communities, to document common building knowledge, with the goal of transforming this knowledge into practicing concepts. It’s thrilling to anticipate the possibilities of someone transforming an idea, a research proposition, into something tangible through travel. I look forward to the wealth of information that his experience will bring.”

Winner’s Portfolio

Ani Nii ShöboUcayali, Perú, 2009

Ani Nii Shöbo, which translates to “big house forest” in the Shipibolanguage, is a lodge, nature reserve, and shamanic practice center along the Ucayali River in the Peruvian Amazon. A collaboration between Bravo, architect Sandra Iturriaga, and the Shipibo families that participated in the construction, the project includes a central lodge where traditional Shipibo shamanic therapies are performed, and several private cabins. The structures draw from vernacular building practices and employs local materials, such as hard quinilla wood for the structure and decks, warm capirona for interior paneling; and irapay palm for roofing. The architects resided for a period with the community in order to gain insight into traditional construction approaches and skills. The structures were designed to be buildable by local craftsmen.

Ani Nii ShöboUcayali, Perú, 2009(continued)

The project is located on a small peninsula at the edge of a lagoon. The Ani Nii Shöbo buildings and programs were sited with consideration for the site’s natural landscape—to preserve trees and views, to take advantage of shade and light, and to anticipate seasonal climate shifts. The dining room sits beneath a canopy of old-growth trees and detached cabins are lifted on stilts, above the lagoon, to account for high water level during tropical rains. The structures were designed to be open, with simple components (deck, frame, roof) and dimensions that would anticipate future possible architectural modifications.

Tarapacá ProjectTarapacá, Chile, 2005–07

Bravo was one of the cofounders of the Tarapacá Project, an initiative aimed at reconstructing heritage areas after the 2005 earthquake devastated northern Chile. Tarapacá is located in a sparsely populated desert region dotted with old mining towns, yet it is culturally significant for its annual Festividad de San Lorenzo, which attracts over 100,000 religious pilgrims. Working with the local community, the architects developed strategies to address preservation, emergency rebuilding, and policies regarding housing and public space. Their goal was not just to repair damaged buildings but to reproduce long-forgotten crafts and knowledge and build a sense of heritage. Bravo approaches heritage as “not just an abstract quality found in vernacular architecture, but something preserved in the spaces of everyday life, the way people work, and their social systems.” The architectural interventions were less about buildings and more about mobilizing production and organizing work to foster collective restoration. Cofounders of the Tarapacá Project include Bernardita Devilat, Felipe Kramm, Verónica Illanes, Natalia Spörke, and Alvaro Silva.

Melimoyu CabinMelimoyu Fjord, Patagonia, Chile, 2011

The cabin is tucked into a lush, remote landscape shaped by glaciers, mountains, and a bay. Bravo was commissioned to design a small self-sufficient cabin on a dense forest site; the building is sited 50 meters above the sea level, accessible via 300 meters of wooden walkways designed to follow the sloping geography. The cabin is oriented on a north-south axis: The south façade faces the bay, while the north façade is pitched higher, with a window to capture sunlight and heat. Three of four sides of the house have projecting terraces and eaves, extending views and protection from the rain. The west façade is hermetically closed, sealed against the house’s wettest side. The project, designed with Armando Montero, was exhibited in the XVIII Chile Architecture Biennale in Santiago (2012) where it earned a Jury Selection.

Nii Juinti SchoolUcayali, Perú, 2014

Nii Juinti is dedicated to teaching the traditional plant-based medicine of the Shipibo people of the Peruvian Amazon. Bravo, collaborating with Sandra Iturriago, set out to build a modest modular roof structure that would provide shelter from the rain and sun, and that would reflect the Shipibo’s respectful relationship with the environment. The system was designed with lightness and material economy as goals, in order to ensure ease of assembly and disassembly by local workers. The architects interpreted the local cloaklike shebón (palm) constructions as a flexible shell, creating study models by folding paper. The traditional column-and-beam structure is replaced by a three-dimensional mesh composed of timbers arranged into discrete triangulated sections. The system may be adapted into various spatial configurations, and lends well to a wide range of light covers. The project includes several homes and other outbuildings.

House In Chiloe Chiloe Island, Chile, 2016–17

Samuel Bravo relocated his practice from Santiago to the Isla Grande de Chiloé in southern Chile to realize a private house commission. The house is composed of a prismatic volume and a polyhedron that merge into each other, creating double-height interior and openings that follow a deliberate rhythmic structure. The pitched polyhedral roof allows for rain run-off and the faceted, interlocking geometry creates a rigid outer structure that permits an uninterrupted interior. The project experiments with traditional house design features, pushing ideas about symmetry and regularity, open and closed volumes, geometry and rhythm.

The Wheelwright Prize is an update of the Arthur Wheelwright Traveling Fellowship, which was established in 1935 and previously available to Harvard GSD alumni. The original prize was conceived at a time when few architects traveled abroad, and for many early recipients—including Paul Rudolph, Eliot Noyes, William Wurster, and I. M. Pei—the fellowship financed travels that followed the tradition of the Grand European Tour. In 2013, the school decided to open the prize to architects practicing anywhere in the world, recognizing the more fluid flow of ideas and talent across the globe today, and the necessity of new forms of architectural research to developing new modes of architectural practice. The sole eligibility requirement is that applicants must have received a degree from a professionally accredited architecture program in the previous 15 years.
