Plaza del Desierto de Baracaldo, Vizcaya, Spain

architect – Eduardo Arroyo

”. . . uses processes of hybridization to define a field of action in which

architecture plays a mediating rolle, allowing the optimization of the

relations between man and his surrounding environment.”

“To recycle the memory of this place means to quantify the amount of

existing materials in the area. Distributing then on the new square

according to existing and urban planning conditions that can interact

with them. We start a system of displacements of microspaces or urban

lounges according to relations between materials and conditions of

usage searching for compatibilities to reach a final equilibrium. The space

is selg generated and we do not know the final usage but there seem to

be multiple opportunities” – Eduardo Arroyo

”. . . the project do not snub tradition, it tries to re-use it in a

contemporary key, maling the most of this memory and trying to enrich it

with new meanings that are suggested by the context.”

“If one of the characteristics of modern achitivities is changeability, as

observed in objects and space, then it is opportune to work on the

consistency of a process in continous transformation.”
