I had the opportunity to see them lecture in San Juan last year when they came down as jurors for the local AIA awards. I found it interesting that they showed almost the same amount of slides showing their work as the did the diverse and contrasting landscapes of Chile. Assadi noted that when photographers would go to take pictures of the house they would always stand further and further away until the house was almost not visible. They would explain to him that the landscape was more important than the house.
Their Schmitz House was one of the sets used in the movie La Mujer de mi Hermano (My Brother's Wife). The film is mostly set in Santiago, Chile and its worth watching just to get a great tour of the house.
