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.

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.
