BAAB | Contemporary Architecture Foundation
Type
Gallardo Llopis + Fran Silvestre Architects Contemporary Architecture Foundation | Cordoba (Spain)Countless experiences are
put together in the biography of a plot in which the various stages of history
are arranged in successive layers. The proposal draws a contemporary layer in
continuity with the existing ones.
The building appears as an
interpretation of the origin of Arabic door "Baab", not only seen as
an element of access to the isolated area from the outside, but as an
articulation of the entire urban landscape and a formal union of the various interior
public urban spaces.
This continuity is achieved
by understanding the building as a door from the street “Capitulares” to the “Huerto
de San Pablo”, where a number of iluminates paths provoque various atmosphers;
a garden delimiting the different access, an aromatic garden, a garden to take
a look at the archaeological rests, ...
The paths evoke the
traceries of traditional architecture repeating geometry with angles of 90 and
135 ° referring to the octagon (as present in the whole architecture of
Cordoba), seek to merge naturally access points to the garden with respect to
the urban environment.
The building is understood
as a piece between above two holes. One horizontal, allows the viandant to
cross it and function as a door. Another vertical with one of those yards that
have been shown to work well in this city, creates a suggestive vision
throughout history, from the ruins to the new modern building.
The proposal is implemented
through a three-dimensional structure of walls and reinforced concrete slabs
thermally isolated from the outside. The interiors are finished with a range of
materials in common with their white color, giving prominence to the light and
textures, the polished stone, glossy paint, …
The building Parking-Cafetreria
finish the composition and expand the urban space of the “Orive Plaza” and acts
as another door to the inside of the park.
