almost a month are being done on the premises of the main building of Santo Tomas Hospital, House Cor, Brazilian franchising is the adaptation and qualification of a significant building in deplorable conditions as physical space for an exhibition of interior design. In this case invited a number of professional and commercial firms that exhibited many professional services and products.
While the field of interior design and decoration is not a new area in our country as long there are many people dedicated to it, is a very ambiguous area of \u200b\u200bwork especially for the multidisciplinarity of the case and also The kinds of commissions and the various needs of customers. In the residential area usually what is done is called "decoration" for some pretty derogatory term, as they try to embellish or decorate a space with movable objects, an exercise for many "superficial" far from the pragmatic and functional practices that the same organization and use of space has to derive the propriety or aesthetics of the environment. The practice of interior design in Panama, in the residential area, is reserved especially for families of higher economic class than those traditionally responsible for public projects of the court recognized the surname of ancestry that their knowledge and "good taste" are responsible for the selection, together with the client, furniture, fabrics, paints, finishes, etc.. More recently due to the specialization of professionals is offering these services more professional, including more technical and complex services for graduate architects and interior designers. In schools of architecture this issue goes almost unnoticed and in the interior design schools in spite of great efforts, for some graduates of this race will cost to have a more established practice as architects as is usually the marketing spend products in the area of \u200b\u200bcounseling, customer service and sales.
Casa Cor is an event which highlights and showcases the talent and creativity of the professionals in this field since it usually lagged behind trade shows as Bello ExpoHabitat Home or work or making anonymous and unknown to the majority. The event as interior design theme reveals some flaws such as the design of movable parts. There was almost no proposals for the exhibition design of new parts, at least a chair or table. I remember seeing just a coffee table playing with a mirror-lined room designer Vicky Dalhgreen. The rest is mostly limited to the selection of furniture in the house sponsors that matter most contemporary furniture reproductions design of other homes very important as Vitra, Herman Miller and Knoll. A rather interesting note the event is the inclusion of artists and artworks in the rooms. Although, the selected works were part of the theme of "matching" of the artwork with the decor, the opportunity was propitious for assembled a varied and beautiful collection of paintings and sculptures, among Panamanian and Latin American Eduardo Tokeshi favorites, Braulio Matos, Aristides Ureña Ramos, Sebastian Spreng, Connie Lloveras, Eduardo Navarro, Tabo Toral, most of Galeria Arteconsult but also had works Mateo Sariel Galeria inhabitant. They could not miss the sweaters in this figurative Diego Linares although syncretic and black has become a cliche of interior design Panama today. It's what Al Sprague was in the seventies and eighties.
In all environments, which definitely gets all the honors was the space "Master Bedroom" designer Patricia Maduro. Simply beautiful, inspired by Thomas Jefferson (American tradition of the interiors of a neo-Palladian Villa), the sophisticated simplicity of the details that did not hesitate to show, without being morbid visual gluttony or eclectic historicism. He was able to capture the atmosphere that love of tradition and comfort that must exist in a home.
Other areas highlighted were the "Den", designed by Vicky Dalhgreen, the "Formal Board" designer De La Guardia and the "Bath" sponsored by the Life Store. The "Bath Master Bedroom" by Jorge Zarak is very interesting because it leaves a large central space without partitions and all the appliances and furniture located at the perimeter, with dark violet tones give it a certain elegance, though there mega plasma TVs makes it less intimate and even pretentious.

regard to landscaping, there was an intervention by the arch. Darien Montanez and his team in the rotunda of the building with a maze Greek mythology of Daedalus and Icarus. Note that in his student of architecture was the first president of Daedalus Readers Assembly (I was the second), who suggested as the logo of the organization the same design, so there must come the references. Apparently his team made a proposal to landscape the rest of the area but it is quite difficult to understand if it took place. Originally uploaded by contraquien .
Casa Cor has definitely been the "reality show" of the Panamanian interior designers. We hope the 2008 version in a house "Hispanic" as Hispania Building or other "Mid Century Modern" and the International Insurance Company of the Plaza on May 5 but did not but they could put up a parking valet parking as they did in the case now. Forgot to mention that on Wednesday the entry for students is $ 5.00 and regular admission is $ 10.00, no cameras allowed. They also have a catalog sale advertising display + at $ 15.00. The doors of Casa Cor Panama 2007 will be open until 12 August.
