of Earth's Habitat Change
3 - Pouchulu
Patricio Pedro Pouchulu (1965), is an 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 2002 Grand Egyptian Museum in Giza, Egypt, and Cyclotel Network in Europe. His goal is to plant a common sense, Humanistic seed for future generations. Like his late putative 'elder brother' Vangelis (as stated by a common friend), Pouchulu seeks beauty, not chaos.
Expert in Habitat, he continues the teachings of his Lieber Meister Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) -now even more detached in space and time- who became his vivid spiritual father; like Odysseus, 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 rebel questioning. Identical to Telemachus, he wandered for years and eventually returned Home (Ithaca is Aquilea), rebuilding in the South what's left of the Mediterranean World (Athínai-Roma-Alexandria-Venezia-Genova), after the fall of Humanism and its abduction by consumerist cybernetics... another Greek word raped: kubernētēs means 'steersman'.
Pouchulu taught on organic architecture and urbanism at Fakultät für Architektur, Hochschule, in beautiful München, Germany, after graduating at the Bartlett School, UCL London, and FADU, UBA. Awarded by FNA and recognized by the British Council, he wrote articles in the Press Gallery, UK Parliament, on Arg-UK partnership. He exhibited his work in solo and collective shows in America (Argentina, Mexico), Europe (UK, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden, Italy), Africa (Egypt, South Africa), Middle-East (Dubai, UAE), and Asia (South Korea, Japan). His body of work comprises about 10.000 drawings, plus photographs, slides, films and writings.
Pouchulu is an art collector, book lover, dedicated painter, photographer and filmmaker. He is a Helmsman (PNA), a narrowboating enthusiast (England), and Honorary member of Instituto Aeronaval (Argentine Navy, Air Wing).
