A Fluid Dialogue Between Light, Space, and Movement.

Luzarca is a lightweight architectural pavilion that merges computational design, structural efficiency, and urban interaction. Its undulating mesh canopy creates a dynamic play of light and shadow, shifting throughout the day. Designed for modularity, it is easily assembled, disassembled, and relocated, emphasizing sustainability. The pavilion fosters movement and interaction, redefining spatial boundaries within the city. More than a structure, Luzarca is an ephemeral exploration of digital craftsmanship and immersive urban experience.

Referential Works

This pavilion showcases advanced computational design, creating a fluid, organic structure through modular assembly. Its perforated panels generate dynamic light and shadow effects, enhancing spatial interaction. Lightweight and efficiently fabricated, it exemplifies innovation in digital craftsmanship and temporary architecture.

Concept

This pavilion is inspired by Catalan vaulting, Moorish courtyards, and Mediterranean passive cooling techniques.By combining traditional building wisdom with parametric geometry, the pavilion functions as both an experimental structure and a functional outdoor space for IAAC students.

Vaulted, self-supporting form mimicking traditional Catalan vaults.

Digitally fabricated ceramic shading system inspired by Moorish mashrabiya patterns.
