延續時間與空間對話，以效能美學追尋永恆

Continuing the Dialogue Between Time and Space, Seeking Eternity Through Efficient Beauty

Q. Fran Silvestre Arquitectos 總辦公室位於西班牙藝術傳統之地 Espai Alfaro，請與我們分享您選擇將總部落址於此，在創作上帶來何種啟發？ 

Q. Your headquarters is located at Espai Alfaro, a place steeped in Spanish artistic tradition. Could you tell us why you chose to establish your studio there and what kind of inspiration it has provided?

A. 我們的工作室目前位於瓦倫西亞附近的 Espai Alfaro，這裡曾是 20 世紀著名西班牙雕塑家 Andreu Alfaro 的前工作室，空間主要由幾座建築構成，庭院內遍布宏偉雕塑。隨著時間推移，如今，這座歷史建築化作文化工作中心，提供不同氛圍的情境，將藝術、設計和建築匯聚在一起，以促進創作、交流和分享，已然成為我們的創意綠洲。

A. Our studio is currently situated near Valencia, at Espai Alfaro, which was once the workshop of the renowned 20th-century Spanish sculptor Andreu Alfaro. The site consists of several buildings arranged around a courtyard filled with monumental sculptures. Over time, this historic complex has evolved into a cultural workspace that offers a variety of atmospheres, bringing together art, design, and architecture to foster creativity, dialogue, and the exchange of ideas. It has effectively become our creative oasis.

Alfaro 以其抽象的極簡主義作品聞名，他經常在創作中融入工業材料並探索空間、形式和平衡的相互作用，展現驚人的綜合能力。而我們每日身處於充滿創造力的環境之中，不免受到這位雕塑家的設計精神影響，從而提升日常工作中的整合能力，也會善用工作室充裕的空間來開發全尺寸模型。

Alfaro was celebrated for his abstract and minimalist works, often incorporating industrial materials and exploring the interplay of space, form, and balance—showcasing extraordinary powers of synthesis. Immersed in such a creative environment on a daily basis, we cannot help but be influenced by his design ethos. This setting enhances our team’s integrative capabilities and allows us to take advantage of the ample space to develop full-scale models.
