La clef

c’est la lumière

et la lumière

éclaire des formes.

Et ces formes ont

une puissance emotive

par le jeu des proportions

par le jeu des rapports

inttendus, stupéfiants

La clave/ es la luz/ y la luz/ ilumina formas/ Y estas formas tienen/ una potencia emotiva/ por el juego de proporciones/ por el juego de relaciones/ inesperadas, asombrosas… Le Corbusier. La chef, 27-6-56. Romchamp

This project was done during my year abroad in Barcelona in 2014. Its a civic center in trinitat nova, a mostly residential neighborhood in the outskirts of Barcelona. The project tries to generate a very open space, that reflects on the on the transparency which in my opinion a public building should have and give. In this project it was quite important to me, that the center delivers to the people of trinitat nova, not only a place to be proud of, but also an extension to the so called "public space". Conceptually speaking there are three different kinds of spaces or atmospheres generated through the use of different materials.

1. exterior  space, which is the outside of the building.

2. intermediate space, which consists of the different corridors and big more "public spaces" in the building (i.e. the multifunctional room, or the gallery). The corridors reflect the outside and try to give the feeling on uncertainty of whether you are inside of a building closed building or just continuing to walk outside. 

Despite being plenty of miles away, I felt oddly at home at this Thanksgiving. Glad I was able to share it with my friends.
