SITE

Placa De Sant Felip Neri is a small square located in the Gothic quarter. Bearing scars from the Spanish Civil War in 1938, this plaza holds a tragic past.

Surrounded by the church and mixed use buildings, this square serves as a moment of quiet among the bustling streets of Barcelona

INSPIRATION

The Jukbuin Pavilion by CODA Barcelonatech constructed for the EME3 Architectural Festival in 2012 served as inspiration with its lightweight construction and material usage

The weaving pattern served as a base for what we wanted to communicate with our design. https://www.designboom.com/architecture/coda-barcelonatech-jukbuin-pavilion/

This pavilion constructed in SouthWest India by a group of Italian and Indian Architects served as an testing ground for creating temporary mycelium structures

The triangular parametric design along with the joinery associated gave us inspiration for how we would organize our mesh for fabrication. https://www.dezeen.com/2017/08/26/shell-mycelium-fungus-pavilion-beetles-3-3-yassin-arredia-design-kerala-india/
