By Nico Saieh — Filed under: Educational , Selected , , , ,
 

Architects: f451 Arquitectura
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Project Year: 2006
Design team: Santiago Ibarra, Toni Montes, Lluis Ortega, Xavier Osarte, Esther Segura

In this project emphasis was placed on the construction process. The whole building was constructed offsite and then transported. Quality, transportation, and speed, were three of the major constraints of the process. The architectural limitations of the system-by default modulation due to transport optimization-were addressed with the onsite construction of an exterior skin made with recycled polycarbonate.

is non prejudice against existing context
in America this project would have been killed in the design concept stage
we should all learn from this!
