On
numerous occasions architecture is the result of the negotiation
conducted between key interlocutors (in this case, the architects and
proposals) and the different types of space involved: the original
space to act on, the determining and judging outer space, and
especially, the new space to be generated.
As
time goes by, said spaces dialogue, contact with each other,
generating a speech where common places and interstitial spaces come
into play. These spaces, often ambiguous voids/ gaps/ empty spaces,
are spatially rich for being endowed with the characteristics of the
different surrounding areas.
This
is the case of a changing rooms building constructed in a park, in
Vélez Málaga. A performance that was created with the idea of
generating, making visible and using those interstitial spaces, often
hidden by architecture.
Appropriation
of the site. Working in the void.
Since
the gestation of the first idea, project and environment have been
understood as an indivisible whole. Thus, the existing trees, views,
natural textures, roads, the sun... become part of the architectural
program generating some common starting points.
From
the outside inward. Living in harmony
An
external action very little aggressive with its environment is
suggested. Image and external volumetry are neutral, restrained,
white, with neither voids nor competing with environment at no time.
Similarly,
the sports facilities tend to be diluted into the vegetation with
completely translucent lattices and metal skins to minimize impact.
From
the inside outward. The park can be breathed, it fills you, it
envelops you... you're at it.
Thanks
to the generated skin, the park is entirely appropriated by its
interior, so its interstitial spaces begin to become more prominent,
creating different areas to live environment: open, covered,
half-covered, half-open, uncovered areas... Thus, the interstitial
area becomes impregnated with the colorful vegetation, escaping from
the exterior neutrality.
Building
and nature.
Here
is an example of spatial dialogue. A diluting solution spreading in
the interstitial spaces, transcending and connecting beings, allowing
everyone to set the limits, the entities, the problem, the answer.
