  • New planning project in Les Glòries Square, Barcelona

    2009 June 8    3:59 pm

    1st place. Competition for the volumetric planning of the space delimited by the streets Castillejos, Gran Via, Cartagena and a new street



    The Latin term In media res -in the middle of things- as our title, it refers to a literary technique in which the narrative begins in the middle of the story and not at the start of the events, jumping back and forward in the sequence.

    As a narrative strategy, it is an opposite resource to the ab ovo, in which what is described follows the natural flow, from present to future. Both ways of understanding the passage of time in a story come from the Ars Poetica of Horacio.

    But if we read it in Catalan, In media res it means: there is nothing in the middle, understood as an affirmation that declares an interest in knowing about the gap left among things, and, at the same time, in having an observation point of the objects from this space in between.

    Our project proposes:
    1. To manipulate history and to be flanked by the typological past of the Eixample of Barcelona (26,5 meters deep) and the city of isolated types (25 meters deep), linking these two ways of understanding the weave of the city. A trip back and forward.
    2. But also to use a gap, the 20 meters of an Eixample street, to separate both temporal units. This gap extends into the plot the topographical level of Plaça de les Glòries (+15,50 meters) through the commercial floor of the façade.

    We imagine that this gap, resolved in two levels, can become a unified lobby for all the apartments located from these heights up. This gap linking buildings recalls the position of the Principals of the Eixample but, this time, with a public and open character, as a balcony on the Plaça de les Glòries.

    Let’s start from now to build Les Glories as a scenario of maximum permeability. It will be very important to insist that every available object is incorporated with dialog. We want to imagine that this conversation can start with the two parts of our proposal.

  • Immaterialized projects at Centre d'Art Santa Mònica

    2009 June 8    3:10 pm

    Our proposals for the organization of the environmental protection of the coast of the Barcelona Airport and a research on the Catalan territory participate in the exhibition Architecture without Place. 1968-2008 at the Centre d'Art Santa Mònica from June, 26th until September, 20th.

    Architectures without Place is the result of the exploration of aspects of the recent creative heritage in architecture and urban planning which for various reasons have been ignored by official historiography.

    The exhibition sets out to make visible all of this heritage from 1968 to the present, all the unrealized architecture that never existed or no longer exists, becomes valuable by spreading new light on this period in Catalan architecture. The show will include 180 of the 500 projects that have been selected from the 2000 and have been researched and documented by curators Antoni Pizza, Ramon Faura and Santi Ibarra since 2006.
