Intro
Throughout the history of humanity, the table has played a fundamental role in many aspects, acquiring a great cultural value and being the stage of infinite uses and activities. Many of the great events have been and will continue to be recorded around a table: The instructions of the year XIII were drafted and signed on the table of the general constituent assembly; republican democracy materializes at the polling stations, great stories of love and friends arise at a bar table; and the family gathers around the table on Sundays for lunch and sharing. The table with its historical genealogy, is no stranger to the different moments that have left important traces in the history of man; to reflect on the affective power of this object is to build spaces where different ways of living, being and being with others can be displayed.

Three Malvín triplexes / Estudio Cabrera

Pilar Caballero — Sat, 27 Nov 2021 19:00:00 +0000

Therefore, we chose to divide the plot into three equal parts along its longitudinal axis. The site is 10 meters wide, so the main challenge for the project was to develop the program through three triplexes of approximately 3 meters wide, and at the same time create a system of spatial relationships and architecturally valuable and pleasant routes.
