Mas d'Enric Penitentiary / AiB estudi d'arquitectes + Estudi PSP Arquitectura

Jonathan Alarcón — Fri, 10 Jul 2020 23:00:00 +0000

The prison is an uncomfortable institution and its architecture is often subjugated to technocratic criteria. This servility forces the prison out of the sociocultural realm where it belongs, thus erasing it from public discourse. The invisibility of the penitentiary as an institution demonstrates an unresolved contradiction underlying contemporary society. We intend to explore this contradiction through architecture. A prison must respond to the demand for discipline (confinement) and liberty (reinsertion) at the same time. Within this complex framework, architecture can make use of its ability to synthetically articulate problems that seem contradictory to become an active agent in resolving the paradox of the contemporary penitentiary. Based on our experience with the Mas d’Enric penitentiary, we claim the prison as an object of critical design and we reclaim architecture’s role in multiplying possibilities as opposed to limiting them.

This is a unique project in the General Hospital building. The intervention arises from the need to rationalize and concentrate the different surgical and post-operation recovery areas, as well as the desire to create a new vertical communication core to expedite the transfer of patients and solve the crossed circulation with the public.

Expansion of the Hospital de Sabadell

The Sabadell Hospital has been extended in a first phase with a new building perpendicular to the old ones, and a new volume with a staircase and elevators. The simplicity of the new building gives a new image to the whole hospital, and has permitted its construction without notable incident in the normal operation of the hospital.
