Arquitectura efimera Pabellon en el CCCB

CCCB Pavilion

Typology: Ephemeral Space

Location: Carrer de Montalegre, 5, Ciutat Vella, 08001 Barcelona, Spain (In the courtyard of the CCCB)

Team: Rhea El-Hoayek, Andreu Fernandez

Area: 225m²

Year: 2022

Concept

The CCCB promotes a new sustainable culture consistent with the current climate situation.

Our goal is to promote sustainability and forest reforestation by creating an organically shaped pavilion that represents a willow tree.

Therefore, we decided to use the curved shape of the enclosure to represent the leaves and the centered cylinder as the trunk. The aggregation of five “tree” modules creates an intermediate space. Additionally, the roof’s inclination could be an advantage in creating a sort of waterfall that collects and reuses water.

Location

We chose this site to bring people together and capture their attention as they pass by the CCCB, as it is located between the two entrances of the center’s courtyard.

Openings

The main openings emphasize the fluidity and transparency of the center. Additionally, the main circulation (circular) of the pavilion defines the openings between modules and represents the shape of a tree.
