Other Projects by AMID [cero9] Cristina Díaz Moreno + Efrén García Grinda
Third Natures
City of London, United Kingdom
Third Natures.
Cristina Díaz Moreno & Efrén García Grinda, amid.cero9 AA Exhibition Architectural Association School of Architecture London Saturday 18 January to Saturday 15 February.
Monday to Friday 10.00–19.00,
Saturday 10.00–15.00
Third Natures presents 15 years of speculations, projects and built proposals by the Madrid-based duo of Cristina Diaz Moreno and Efren Garcia Grinda and their collaborators, ranging from the beginnings of the practice in 1997 to their latest works, completed in 2013. In total, 26 projects are shown through drawings, models, objects and photographs. All this material is organised according to laws of affinity and connection, in an attempt to convey the vast range of the projects and their main field of operation – the space of mediation between people, objects, natural species and built environments. The title for this collection draws on a term first coined during the Renaissance to refer to a new type of garden that created a new and hitherto unknown reality – a ‘third nature’ – with a radical new materiality that was constructed through cultural connections. In the same way, the practice explores how cultural materials can be assimilated and then given back to the world in the form of proposals with strong links to contemporary society. Their approach, both critical and celebratory, is based on the emergence of new, extreme and unexpected forms of beauty.
The book Third Natures: A Micropedia, published by the AA, accompanies this exhibition.
Published in tandem with an exhibition of the same title at the AA School of Architecture in January 2014, Third Natures presents the work and ideas of Spanish architects Cristina Diaz Moreno and Efrén Garcia Grinda and their Madrid-based studio AMID.cero9. The book itself has been conceived in the form of a micropaedia – that is, a condensed version of a classical encyclopaedia, but like its larger progenitor, the structure of its content will be arranged alphabetically, as a dictionary of terms that collectively represent architecture's Third Nature. Among this glossary will be descriptions - both long and short, and written by both the authors and invited guests - of a number of terms, among them Breathable, After Pop and Intentional Communities. Imbedded into each alphabetic entry will also appear an assortment of images - some drawn from a wide spectrum of reference images, others deriving from specific projects by AMID.cero9.
The result is a constellation of objects and ideas that in its form as much as its content presents an accumulative way of comprehending the world.
