The project
Andrea entrusted Archicercle with making the model for her final-year architecture project. Named MACOSA, the work translated the academic proposal into a physical model at 1:300 scale.
Archicercle’s contribution focused on building the model. The commission was based on Andrea’s final-year project, distinguishing the making of the model from the authorship of the architectural proposal.
The composition is arranged on a square base, with rectangular and elongated forms, white surfaces and light brown areas. The geometric layout of the platform is part of the representation, alongside the spaces between the volumes and the small cubic elements distributed across the model.
White roofs, repeated vertical façade elements and enclosure planes bring different levels of detail to the model. One view captures a roof being lifted by hand, revealing part of the interior. The model thus combines the overall project composition with the representation of its architectural elements.
The layout of the base and the arrangement of the volumes form a unified composition at 1:300 scale.
