Federica Morgia Analyzes Resonant Sections in Juan Navarro Baldeweg's Architecture

Federica Morgia, an architect and professor at Sapienza Università di Roma, has published an analysis of Juan Navarro Baldeweg's architectural work, focusing on the concept of the 'resonant section.' Morgia argues that for Navarro Baldeweg, architecture acts as an interpolation between subjective perception and external context, amplifying elements like light, gravity, and the horizon. The section is described as a binary system: first, it enables reciprocal relationships between architecture and its contexts; second, it materializes the building's depth onto a two-dimensional facade, allowing simultaneous perception of different spatial situations. Morgia's study examines several of Navarro Baldeweg's projects, interpreting them through the lens of their sections and their ability to reveal unexpressed relationships with the city, landscape, and history. The analysis is published in Morgia's book 'La sección resonante de Navarro Baldeweg' (2023). Navarro Baldeweg is recognized as a significant architect, painter, and plastic artist of our time, whose work is based on artistic practice and characterized by stratified planes achieved through carving rather than modeling.
