of Earth's Habitat Change
3 - Pouchulu
Patricio Pedro Pouchulu (1965), is an awarded architect and educator, involved in Habitat research for 40 years. Widely known after his evocative grand designs and competitions, he built in conservation areas in London and has designed more than 200 projects, like his Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, Egypt, and Cyclotel Network in Northern Europe. He is lecturing through Instituto Pouchulu of Earth's Habitat Change. Like his late spiritual elder 'brother' Vangelis (as stated by a common friend), Pouchulu's quest decodes beauty, not chaos.
He continues the teachings of Lieber Meister Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) -now even more detached in space and time- who became his faraway architectural father, and following Odysseus' path, who did not manage to see his son Telemachus at birth and trusted Mentōr to guide him, Pouchulu owns his mentors: Clorindo Testa his wit sense of space, and Peter Cook for his restless questioning. Identical to Telemachus, Pouchulu returned Home (Ithaca is Aquilea), rebuilding what's left of the Mediterranean World (Athínai-Roma-Alexandria-Venezia-Genova-Buenos Aires), after the fall of Humanism and its abduction by consumerist cybernetics... another Greek word distorted: kubernētēs means 'steersman'.
Pouchulu, a Lasallian educator, taught architecture and urbanism at Fakultät für Architektur, Hochschule, in beautiful München, Germany, and architectual design at FADU UBA. He was awarded by Fondo Nacional de las Artes, and recognized by the British Council, graduated as MArch. at the Bartlett School University College London. Since 1986 he exhibited his work in one man shows and group presentations in America (Argentina, Mexico, US), Europe (UK, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Italy), Africa (Egypt, South Africa), Middle-East (Dubai, UAE), and Asia (South Korea, Japan). He wrote articles in the Press Gallery, UK Parliament. His body of work comprises about 10.000 drawings plus photographs, models, slides, films and writings.
Pouchulu is an art collector, book lover, dedicated painter, photographer and filmmaker following the legacy of his father, news reel pioneer Pedro Pouchulu. He is a Helmsman (PNA), a narrowboating enthusiast (England), and Honorary member of Instituto Aeronaval (Argentine Navy, Air Wing).
