The project
The Epigram model translates a school architecture project into a physical model. Archicercle’s contribution focused on its fabrication, using a solution that represents the façade screen without concealing the wall and its openings.
The complex is arranged as prismatic volumes on a base incorporating the surrounding layout and miniature trees. The composition brings together the building volumes and their relationship with the outdoor spaces.
We used sand-coloured ecocartón board to represent concrete. This material serves as a means of depicting the architectural proposal, paired with the transparency of the envelope.
We fabricated the building envelope in engraved clear acrylic. The engraving represents the façade screen, while the transparency allows the wall and its openings to remain visible at the same time. The material choice therefore addresses a specific model-making challenge: making several layers of the façade legible within a single piece.
