Description

The architecture and furniture of Oscar Hagerman (1936) refer to the essential, they start from an austere simplicity. For more than fifty years he has worked in rural communities in Mexico designing and building schools, homes, clinics, and other projects. Its architecture, made with the “direct materials of the earth”, and its furniture design, “the smallest of architectures”, coincide in being subtle approaches that create a permanent dialogue with the place and the culture.
