Transspecies Kitchen / Andrés Jaque / Office for Political Innovation

Paula Pintos — Sun, 04 Aug 2024 11:00:00 +0000

Cooking, digesting, growing, and decomposing are all the same: an alliance between different forms of life. The Transspecies Kitchen is a project by Andrés Jaque / Office for Political Innovation, now installed at the Middleheim Museum in Antwerp (Belgium). It resulted from a long process that started in 2021, as an association between the NY and Madrid-based office OFFPOLINN and the stone fabrication company M-Marble Project. It is a kitchen that decarbonizes cooking and relies on fermentation as the primary form of food preparation.

Since the 1980s, vast stretches of land in the formerly-rural county of Molina de egura (Murcia) have been exploited to create suburbs. The result of this exploitation is a flattening of the land’s topographies and the destruction of its territorial system of ravines (ramblas). Ramblas constitute a fabric of veins carved by seasonal rainfall in the dry steppe landscape. In them, humidity accumulates, and biodiversity flourishes. They constitute corridors of freshness, carbon fixation, and ecological entanglement that play a crucial role in the climatic and earthy stability of Molina de Segura’s ecosystems.

Reggio School / Andrés Jaque / Office for Political Innovation

The design of Reggio School is based on the idea that architectural environments can arouse in children a desire for exploration and inquiry. In this way, the building is thought of as a complex ecosystem that makes it possible for students to direct their own education through a process of self-driven collective experimentation— following pedagogical ideas that Loris Malaguzzi and parents in the Italian city of Reggio nell’Emilia developed to empower children’s capacity to deal with unpredictable challenges and potentials.

Run Run Run is intended as an architectural intervention that facilitates the use of the city in alternative ways. It is an infrastructure that makes it possible to turn the street into a playground and training site, helping to emancipate oneself from the dependence of the domestic space and providing opportunities to favour encounters through activities that usually promote individualism.

RÒMOLA / Andrés Jaque Architects

Rayen Sagredo — Mon, 11 Dec 2017 06:00:00 +0000

This project transforms the former 1946 garage of Gutierrez Soto’s most significant building, located in the geographical center of Madrid, into an assembly of bakery, café and experimental restaurant. The original volume and structure of the building is recovered, leaving a 5-meter-high space with massive openings onto the streets.

MoMA PS1 YAP 2015 - COSMO / Andrés Jaque / Office for Political Innovation

Nico Saieh — Tue, 23 Jun 2015 11:31:20 +0000

More than 2 billion gallons of water circulate everyday beneath New York City. COSMO is a movable artifact, made out of customized irrigation components, to make visible and enjoyable the so-far hidden urbanism of pipes we live by. An assemblage of ecosystems, based on advanced environmental design, engineered to filter and purify 3.000 gallons of water; eliminating suspended particles and nitrates, balancing the PH, and increasing the level of dissolved oxygen.

OJALÁ / Andrés Jaque

Ojalá is the architectural response to the social diversity of Malasaña. A diversity that manifests itself in everyday life as an accumulation of different ways to talk, meet, eat and drink.

Urbanism has been conceived and is put into practice as a task in which the first decisions are made on a large scale. But as it gradually descends, it reaches that point at which human interaction is defined, so the degrees of freedom regarding design have been extremely reduced up to now.
