OAC Girona

I went this weekend to see the office finished and working.

It works at full capacity now (we still don't have the figures, we'll let you know) and has all the left details (socles, plants furniture...).

Here some images I took. They are a little bit missleading in terms of feeling (it's a very calm space) but I think they'll be useful to understand a little bit more the space.

Carretera Secundaria exhibition

Or how architecture can meet other disciplines. Version 2. At COAC.

More information about us at http://www.raichdelrio.com/

When we did the first exhibition, people from the COAC (Official Architecture Organization from Catalonia) came to ask us to make it again, this time in an small exhibition space they have for emergent architecture. If the first time the main idea was a road, this time we climbed the road to the roof and made it a path to the exhibition space, not very visible from the street.

So the first decission was where to end this path that would bring people to this space.

The exhibited pieces would be sourrounded by mesh cilinders to protect them, who were bigger or smaller, and ware placed below the piece, at it's high or even higher, depending on the object presented.

This mesh started as ciliders but once there they got deformed.

And became "gosthy" shapes illuminated by the existing light.

The existing light was another of the subjects to play with.

This space had different colored lights that we decided to use: a general violet light for the exhibition and some bright white concentred light for the pieces exhibited.

The instalation of the "sky path"

Had to solve different problems...

But finally made it's function.

Carretera Secundaria exhibition

Or how architecture can meet other disciplines

More information at http://www.raichdelrio.com/

This was an exhibition about how architecture students deal with other disciplines while studying achitecture. It was done in the ETSAB (the architecture school in barcelona) with ETSAB students.

It was an open registration and people from very different disciplines came to us (including lighting and scenography but also cooking or sewing)

So the question was: how to give to all these different contents a common frame? how to organize them all?
It fastly came the idea of the "secondary road", a road which is not the main road (that would be working in an architecture office as an intern) and that, of course, can be much more slow but can also make you look at the landscape (your enviroment) in a different way.

The first big thing was there: making a road crossing all the hall, and placing the works outside from it, hanging from the ceilling. Al the posters had in one side the work printed and in the other side pictores of "secondary roads".

At the end, it happened that people walked through the road...

The path was done in standard moquete, and we self-printed the lines with a stencil.

Unicef's shop window

How would you make a shop window without budget?

More information at http://www.raichdelrio.com/

When they asked us to "refurnish" the entrance of the Unicef shop in Barcelona with no budget we immediately thought of "epidermical" solutions that could give maximum result with minimum expense.

From our point of view, the problem was that the store was (dis)connected from the street by a dark passage filled with outlet products, far from being a welcoming place.

Studying the shop (beyond the open white door) we discovered the blue, a colour that was immediately taken as a solution. We also discovered that light wasn't in the product, but in the corridor space.

So the solution was: buying some painting and light diffusers. That was our proposal. And our hands, of course.

Walls were painted in blue and white and light was pointed at the product.

So now between the street and the shop there was not a dark passage, but a place where to start thinking of what you will buy inside.

Besides, we created stencils with the Unicef logo, that we placed in the wall, both in positive

And in negative, making visible that it was a Unicef shop (not so clear before the intervention)

So the goal was accomplished: creating an entrance, giving a shop window, and connecting the shop to the street.

Besides, we also created a product-placement system made with old boxes found in the store and the stencils previously used, so that the product can be now showed in a wide range of possibilities.

360º sight of result. You can see the stencils in the walls and boxes, the product placement and the connection between the shop window and the shop.

This project was done with (and thanks to) Pau Gonzalez-Rojas Amat, who commissioned us the job and appears in the photo.
