The Urban Oasis Pavilion is a temporary installation in Plaça Catalunya that transforms one of Barcelona’s busiest urban nodes into a space for shade, rest, and social encounter. Its porous, flowing surface filters light, noise, and heat to create a more comfortable microclimate within the dense city environment, offering a place for pause and relief in the heart of the metropolis.
CREATIVE PROCESS
The Urban Oasis Pavilion is conceived as a continuous folded landscape that emerges from the manipulation of a single surface rather than the assembly of separate architectural elements. Instead of designing a fixed object, the project explores how an urban plane can lift, bend, and curve to create moments of refuge within the city. The double-curved geometry provides inherent structural stability while remaining lightweight and permeable, generating shaded zones, natural thresholds, and spatial expansion without rigid boundaries. Acting as a soft interruption within the urban fabric, the pavilion behaves more like topography than architecture fluid field where structure, shelter, and spatial experience merge into a calm, performative oasis within the city.
