In this small project we address the problem of the expressions coming from the exhibition of the material to the non-evident and that, in this case, link the architecture with natural elements. This probably reveals a conceptual richness that arises from an organic origin. We believe that these types of exercises can help to build and reveal a particular ethos, rooted in visual stimuli and evocations of the landscape.   This pavilion proposes a meeting place and exhibition of small artistic objects. That is the most obvious aspect in the programmatic configuration of this project. It can also be a place to rest and to protect from the sun. However, it is clear that we expect more. We want to think about the idea of ​​an object that bursts... More

In this particular pavilion, we propose certain dialectics that articulate the project, such as the one established between personal expression versus functionality or between known materials versus new materials. In the projects we do, we are aware of the zeitgeist that makes them possible. We believe that by knowing this condition we can see more clearly which parts or elements of the project have greater doses of sensitivity to time.   In the pavilions, in general, we can see a certain audacity arising from the lack of permanence, the will to explore and experience that arises from the apparent lesser responsibility that is expected from a temporary construction, an event with a definite time. However, we must ask ourselves if this has t... More

In this project we worked with the idea of variable context as the main axis of the design process. This idea, although widely debated, is far from being finished. Especially when we understand the idea of context from different angles and beyond the usual notions that have to do with sites or with sociocultural backgrounds.We consider that the material aspects, and the atmospheres that can arise from them, suppose a source of concepts that can perfectly be considered as contextual. These atmospheres can be deliberately sought, presenting by itself a form of context. They can also be the unintended result of a series of design operations, also acting as contextual variables.  This work, dedicated to meditation, aims to achieve a s... More
