In contrast to Newton and Schopenhauer, your ancestor did not think of time as absolute and uniform. He believed in an infinite series of times, in a dizzily growing, ever spreading network of diverging, converging and parallel times. This web of time - the strands of which approach one another, bifurcate, intersect or ignore each other through the centuries - embraces every possibility.

Jorge Luis Borges, The Garden of Forking Paths.

Albert Einstein showed us that space cannot be conceived independently from time; both concepts are mutually interrelated in an unbreakable way. They intertwine to form the framework on which we exist and, like the two-faced god Janus, presents the same essence, but with two tied polarities: space-time.

Architects often talk about the qualities of space, but we seldom reflect on the temporal essence it carries. Spatial limits and configurations imply different temporal perceptions. Because space without time becoming a static and flat image, loses its depth. 

This branching configuration, so distant from the paradigm of the Box or the unique homogenous space, pushes us to explore and understand it by walking it.  It encourages us to invest time and explore the temporal condition of space and how its possible paths and bifurcations form a riddle whose key is time. 

A complete glance in a brief instant is not possible because there is no privileged point of view, no fixed perspective that represents and explains the entire dwelling. The house does not establish itself as a static stage; as we move, planes and gaps open up, visual perspectives close successively and hide away. With each step, the space changes and unfolds with our body's movement. Whether inside or outside, each viewpoint has particular and changing considerations throughout the day, and natural light writes, through changing shadows the continuous unfolding of time.

Its materiality, steel, also speaks of perpetual change, rusting over time like living matter. The glass with its ever-changing reflections blurs the boundaries between interior and exterior, incorporating the garden into domestic space. Only the curved mirror housed within can break with the conventional flow of space-time, distorting it to show overlapping spaces of impossible time and quantum superposition in an instant.

We cannot stop time, but we can build spaces that make its perception more noticeable, "densify time," even if it's just an illusion...
