The roof is supported on two reinforced concrete pillars, and is made up of a system of steel cables onto which enameled steel plates are then soldered. The curving form of the roof serves to make it more resistant to wind, which can reach hurricane force in this region. Many regionalists proceed like this, but in my opinion it is a mistake to assume that the mere fact of regional differences could elicit creative energy. I believe that regionalism can lead to a result if each region with its own contradictions and difficulties fixes creative standard in order to overcome the local tradition. I believe that tradition neither be preserved nor converted into a creative impulse.
Creative work is expressed in our times in a union of technology and humanity.
The role of tradition is that of a catalyst, which furthers a chemical reaction but is no longer detectable in the end result. Tradition can, to be sure, participate in a piece of creation, but it can no longer be creative itself. Precedents in Architecture. Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1985. Gustavo Gili, S.A., 1989.
