This issue of En Blanco presents seven projects by the Australian studio Angelo Candalepas & Associates, exploring key themes in their architecture: fear, planes, materials, light and darkness, ambition, and the plasticity of concrete. Through these works, the magazine reflects Candalepas’s introspective philosophy, in which he describes architecture as a language for conveying emotions and responding to the needs of our time.
Among the standout projects, the Punchbowl Mosque combines light and shadow to create a spiritual atmosphere, while President Avenue and The Porter House Hotel exemplify the studio’s ability to integrate functionality, sustainability, and respect for historical context. Works such as Casa Cullen Aalhuizen are notable for their interplay of light, space, and materiality, demonstrating the artisanal and conceptual rigor that defines Candalepas’s practice.
In the architect’s words: “Architecture should not only be a means to solve functional problems; it should be a language capable of transmitting emotions and connecting with the needs of our time.”
