NATURAL URBAN ATMOSPHERE. INSIDE A BASKET: PATTERN, MOVEMENT AND LIGHT.

by Alejandra Iglesias Garcia

The composition of the building is the resemblance of a basket. The light, pattern and static-dynamic movement working in the space and timber as the predominant material. The atmosphere created by these elements has an urban nature theme, where the main idea is to create the sense of being inside a basket. The static movement is represented by a timber structure and a roof which are following the pattern of the basket. It also works as a façade and it is a composition of inclined pillars forming rhombuses with glass in between them. The predominant feature of the building is the double internal structure creating the sensation of being inside a basket. It is located from the west ground floor to the west second floor and it is also supporting this. All this is enhanced to the dynamic movement and represented by the natural light and shadows produced throughout the structure.
