Agricultural Cooperative future. By integrating the overall project
"Paredes: Creative City for Design - Design Hub”, in partnership with
Paredes City Hall, the Cooperative hosts other functions of creative and
multidisciplinary nature, becoming a center for the dissemination and promotion
of creative capacity of young entrepreneurs in the municipality of Paredes, and
fulfilling its goals of supporting farmers involved. It is intended that the new building will accommodate, in
an integrated approach, embodied in a multifunctional space, four main
components connected to the Cooperative Services, the Market of the Earth, the
home / Creative Workshops and a Design Incubator for Furniture Design and
Decorative Arts, in a total of about 2820 m2 of area, adding 2 950 m2 of space for parking. As extracted from the Final Report of the Jury, “the proposal
FARMVILLE, submitted by AND-RÉ architecture is globally (...) the proposal that
best interprets the program of the Cooperative Agricultural and incubator for
the Furniture Design and Decorative Arts and Creative Workshops."
This is a
"refined proposal that (...) incorporates a contemporary image and
identity."
"The
project shows a peaceful relationship with the environment, linking the program
to the identity of streets and urban events, linking densities, altimetry,
types and streams, linking the most deprived areas of the program to the
streets of most residential character (north), and areas of greatest
affirmation / highlights of the program with areas of increased flow of
pedestrian and urban environment (south and west). The permanence of the
Cooperative at the same location facilitates recognition and identification
(collective memory)."
"The
autonomy of the volumes-hangars, which incorporate the various valences of the
program allows future flexibility suited to contemporary programmatic
weightlessness." In the same way that "the deployment of buildings,
allowing pedestrian crossings transverse permeability ensures urban and social
experiences of proximity. "
