Europan 8 Córdoba

runner-up

Contrary to the generative process, this project is about a production of new architecture prototypes. The project was initiated with one very clear idea: the use of a unique point of view, an isometric one. No plans or sections. No renderings. No models. Other constraints were added like using only one colour. So the study and project area is represented in a monochromatic, three- dimensional view. Meanwhile, an urban species system of eleven new inhabitation styles for the city of Cordoba is proposed. There are eleven urban species as a starting point. Then, social and cultural mutations will permute the species in sub-species. In total, there are four hundred dwellings for the ten hectares present in this architectonic monochromatic creation.

This project is connected to the following themes

Housing - Typology

Through the production of new architectural prototypes, the project focuses on the development of different species for distinct “living styles”, “permutations” on the patterns of life under social and cultural mutation.
