CATALAN EMBASSY

2014

Brussels. Belgium

In a possible near scenario, where Catalunya is already an independent country and there is a need of an embassy for political reason’s in Europe’s capital. How does it have to be, an embassy for a new country?  There is an interesting conflict between the need of a closed building for security reasons and the creation of public urban spaces.

 

Urban Spaces understood as hiatus in the city fabric. The construction of this void by articulating physical elements charged with activity to define the emptiness. 

 

The aim was to achieve The Sensible, Sensitive and Sustainable architecture: A dejà-vu architecture, which is informed by the context, to define a certain present use, but flexible enough to last troughout decades housing many different uses.
