BARRIO cultural booster
STATUS
Concept
SIZE
1000 sqft - 3000 sqft
Located on the populous area of Zona Salamanca, an area with an extreme density and a strong lack of communal areas, public services or even parks, but at the same time a district with an interesting mix of cultures, hosting the only Muslim Center of the island, African restaurants, chinese bazaars and latin american families that cannot find the proper space to develop outdoors activities. The project replaces and existing family house, detaching itself from the corner to create a small plaza that, even being small, could potentially become the first proper public space where old people can take a sit on the hot summer evenings, young people can meet to play or socialise and even host a tradicional "verbena", a dance event very popular on the Canary Islands.
The program of the building ( library, study center, workshops and exhibition gallery ) is vertically organized in a fragmented volume that seems to integrate in the architectural context, not imposing its monumental scale but following the playful rules of an unplanned beighbourhood or "barrio".
The buildings wants to be an open book, opening windows to capture the far views of the ocean and the Anaga mountains, with terraces to the main street to open the building to the "barrio". It is a public building that wants to revitalise and area with activities that can capture the lively essence of the area and turn this energy into cultural production.
