Architecture is a continuos evolution from the interpretations of each designer. I can see the similarity of Barragan’s pool but never a copy+paste. There’s nothing wrong with manipulating the light like Niemeyer and Corbusier did; actually i would be proud if compared to any of them. I hope you have visited the house in person if you are saying that the house has no sense of contextualism or identity. This is his design, his interpretation, I can say that Corbusier daylight system was copy from the Egyptian, and who would prove me wrong – nobody. I think is a nice-unique piece, contemporary and yes influenced by those architects. Everyone has concepts and ideas that were already explored, but we always try to improve them, that’s how we evolve.

The distribution of spaces seems to be out of proportion. The interior is cold, it does not look like a house and the sparse furnishings seem unfriendly. The details seems unfinished and the exposed concretes looks awful.

This guy Fuster has another projects in which you can see clearly the architectural forms and spaces of Oscar Niemeyer.

The techniques to capture and manipulate natural light looks to me more like Oscar Niemeyer Museum in Curitiba, besides Corbu’s skylights. Really, I think theres nothing original in this house,not even the pool which is a copy + paste from mexican architect Luis Barragan. If you make some research about tropical architecture, for example the Brazilian Modernism, you will notice the number of copy + pasted items this architect Fuster is stealing without any sense of contextualism or identity.
