075 House without an interior

A house without an interior

Location: Logroño, Spain
Program: Temporary installation
Floor Area: N/A
Project Team: Edgar Rodriguez
Status: Concept design
Year: 2021

  • House without interior takes the concept of "house" as an icon, stripped of its spatial implications as an architectural typology. In a similar way in which in computation, the terms "home" and "⌂" are used to describe interfaces designed to guide and facilitate the navigation of a system, this pavilion seeks to present the house as a starting point, space for meeting, and reference to navigate the activities of the Concéntrico festival in an architectural object.

    The intervention consists of a 24-meter-long wall and roof diagonally dividing the plaza into two exterior spaces. At the center of this wall, a single door connects the resulting spaces, condensing the experience of moving from one outdoor space to another at a single point in the intervention. In addition to contributing a representation of the domestic, the antique furniture serves as structural elements that keep the thin wall in balance without anchoring it to the floor.

    Beyond seeking to be an object to see, our proposal is an object with which to interact spatially and intellectually. This intervention temporarily transforms the space where it is inserted and seeks to offer the spatial experience of "entering the outside." Conceptually, the project reimagines the house as a building that has lost all its interior volume and only expands outwards.
