Architecture is an art, a craft of shaping space, of transforming fullness into void, where the process is as important as the result. It must be contextually rich, encompassing geography, history, and culture, leaving behind an enriched environment.
The architect, akin to a sculptor of nature, employs geometry to bridge tangible reality and abstract ideas. Aesthetic desirability, constructive reasonableness, and social justice define the essence of architecture. It serves not for itself, but as a means to higher ends, responding to needs within economic and social parameters. The true magic of architecture reveals itself when construction ends, bringing forth a sensitive experience that connects us to cognitive, spiritual, and individual conscience. At its core, architecture transcends matter, becoming poetry that invites silence and humility, transforming the intricate into the profound and essential.

Op een met klimop begroeide muur zit Rasmus Kofoed, chef van Geranium in Kopenhagen – een van de beste restaurants ter wereld. Wat al deze portretten gemeen hebben, naast een gevoel van intimiteit en nabijheid, is één terugkerend element: een glas.
Zo legt Gérard-Philippe Mabillard zijn vrienden en kennissen vast – stuk voor stuk prominente namen uit de wereld van film, kunst, mode, design en cultuur.
Mabillard begon zijn carrière als creatief professional, voordat hij directeur werd van de non-profitorganisatie Vin du Valais. In zijn werk fungeert het glas – gevuld met wijn of water – als verbindend element tussen de geportretteerden: een krachtig symbool voor vriendschap, ontmoeting en gemeenschap.
Met dit fotografieproject draagt Mabillard bovendien actief bij aan Fondation Moi pour Toit in Colombia, waarmee het project niet alleen esthetische, maar ook maatschappelijke waarde krijgt.
