RCR WORKSHOP

Summer 2017 - X International Workshop of Architecture and Lanscape RCR

Location: Olot, Spain

Conceptual watercolor done by Rafael Aranda (RCR Arquitectes)

In a specific place and within a development called "Geografia de somnis" (Geography of Dreams) which considers spaces for contemplation, dispersion, creation; we were asked to develop the "Earth residences". Consisting on five units that, by way of temporary stay, will allow to live experiences related to the earth and the enjoyment of the landscape.
The Workshop was thought around the concept of the Void, so this was the main concept of all the projects that conformed the Geography of Dreams.


"A repeated situation, a beautiful place, a forest. When urbanization comes, the place loses its magic. The challenge is not only to keep the magic of the place, but to reinforce it."
