@diddy
back patting comes from different sources: admiration, compassion, pity, snobbery, solidarity… which one do you think joe was talking about?

This project is overwhelmingly, frighteningly masculine. Everything is enormous and dark and heavy. The courtyard in the photograph looks like a trash alleyway. Why would somebody design a health center to look imposing and scary?

You guys really like patting each other on the back, huh?

Its true… most ppl would rather spend time criticizing then leaving a “job well done” on this website. But I guess I’ll waste some time and drop one. ;)

I do love the attention to detail around the entrance of this building and towards the decisions made concerning the windows/shutters. Interior material choices are alright. Cheers to BAAS.

My attention to BAAS’s architecture is after the Leon City Morgue building … it is one of my favourite – quite or quietly poetic and speaks volume. This building also tries at being invisible. Yes, I know, it’s obviously not but see it from the perspective of not wanting to be noticed … ahhhhh, see? The windows from the rooms play that game too. These are great architectural “tricks” and very successful when carefully applied by a good practice like BAAS. Natural light to all the rooms … well, there is a lot of good designs here but it just does not want to be seen.

I agree that most of the talk in these forums tends to congregate around the questionable or controversial designs. Quietly good architecture often misses the attention it deserves. This building is a perfect example of an understated but elegant design. Great project!

Jordi Badia is simply one of the bests. And the team is too! (And I say that because I know some of the people in there…Rafael, Vicky, Marta…some good old friends from Bcn!)
Nice project, as many of Baas’.

I find it funny that nobody comments baas buildings…i guess because their silenty good and when that happens there’s no need for too much talk. Both this and the barcelona and leon tanetoriums show a very kneet thoughtfull and discrete architecture if only their fellow compatriotes like abalos and herreros would follow their example.
