The purpose of this project, in the Sant Just Desvern Sanatorium, is to create a commercial centre focused on fashion, highlighting Spanish design and forging a unique commercial experience for the citizenry that goes beyond shopping.
The intervention must dress the space. Its materiality must be opposed and contrasted with the preexisting space and generate a game in which before and after appear visually balanced.
Conceptually, the intervention is broken down into 3 groups. First, the base group, formed by the architectural complex where the elements respond to orthogonal axes and create a perfect grid in rigid, opaque and heavy blocks.
The second group is necessary so that the architectural space can be habitable and configured properly for the activities planned. It consists of elements that configure, communicate or isolate the basic space. Although they join with the first group in function, they adopt the materiality of the third to clearly distinguish themselves. The third group is in some ways an “invading group,” completely oblivious to the place that hosts it, and ends up dominating the permanent architecture. It flows, with sinuous and mobile organic forms, in lightness and transparency, through the space.
