second prize 2007/2009
In this current world, in constant development and process of change, the cycle of renovation emerges.
Despite of being connected with a linear process like Evolution, it becomes a reiterative phenomenon. It is shown that when due to the advance of science and technology, new elements appear and because of its optimization they will replace other ones in our daily life.
This event is currently specified in the field of image, music and data storage. We can remember with yearning our parent´s vinyls and cassettes that we recorded when we were young. Now, our houses are packed of CDs and DVDs towers. Some of them do not work, others are not listened anymore and other storage systems like the iPod have taken their place.
Why not recover these elements and give them a second opportunity? This is our starting point of the proposal.
THE PROJECT.
The modulation of the project allows the terraces to be adapted to several conditions of the place where it is located.
The module is composed of a light steel structure. All the joints are screwed to make the construction faster and also allow the future disassembly.
The façade is made of glass, with a great visual and light permeability. Inside, the second skin consists of towers of recycled CDs and DVDs which offer a great solar protection and privacy for the customers during the day. The changing colour of the CDs surfaces makes a dynamic interior with static elements. At night, these towers become lamps that generate an edge and ambient light along the terrace.
All metal work of the façade can be swivelled during warm and hot days to allow crossed ventilation and improve the comfort and temperature conditions inside the terrace.
