The west and a single material, brick forming folds together, in response to the incidence of the Sun.
Without “doors” or “windows” as an expression of sobriety and introspection, detached from the ground so as not to interrupt the creeping vegetation.
With these premises, progress was made to refunctionalize and adapt a pre-existing work to office use. The living and dynamic element of architecture, natural light, penetrates all the spaces of the project, drawing a matrix, a projection of summoned brick that runs through floors and walls.
Since we are not able to display the interior of the spaces, due to the nature of their activities, we have considered that the exterior is displayed inside. With the same degree that we filter the light, we filter the view from the outside. Inside, this allows us not only to observe the exterior through a ceramic filigree, but also to constantly perceive the passage of time according to the patterns that the shadows draw inside.
