Architect Rafael Pardo's buildings are almost sculptural: concrete prisms intersecting to form domestic spaces. In each of his projects he seeks to push the properties of concrete to the limit to achieve greater formal expressiveness, so that the material becomes structure, wall and finish. #architecture #architect #architecturebook #amazingarchitecture #architecturebooks #brutalism #house #home #decoration #decor #housedesign #houseplan #book #mexico #interiordesign #travel #diy #concrete Concrete Architecture, Architecture Books, Amazing Architecture, Properties Of Concrete, Interior Design Books, Diy Concrete, Intersecting, Travel Diy, Prisms
Pardo's Push
Lifesaving Pardo's Push nearly leads to court-martial
Bob Pardo (left) and his weapons officer Steve Wayne (right) in Vietnam, where on March 10, 1967, they pushed their wingman to safety after his plane was crippled
Pardo had the crippled plane's pilot lower the tailhook and balanced it on the front of his own jet to push it 88 miles to safety
Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Robert Pardo is known for carrying out an unorthodox aviation maneuver, later coined the Pardo Push, to save the lives of his wingmen during a bombing mission over Vietnam on March 10, 1967.
