Taking off with Ideas, Landing with Projects

Years ago, author architect Luis Alonso (Alonso Balaguer y Arquitectos Asociados) discovered that a good way to spend his time, was to use the airsickness bags with a more rewarding and inspiring purpose than what they were initially designed for. From there came the recycling mentality. To draw or sketch on them and in bulk. They are an ideal size as a basis for ideas, thoughts and sketches due to their dimensional restrictions, they compel him to produce a clean summary of what he wants to express, without wasting any space. Clearly synthesizing and representing only the necessary. The basic conceptual idea, the synthesis. Without dissipation, without fanfare, frills nor distractions. A total of 72 projects, many of them completed, some in the development phase and others “dormant, awaiting their opportunity”: the constant frustration of the idea that did not materialize, from the words that never became actions. Welcome to a new use of these lovely bags! What a splendid design and just the right size!
