The project
Archicercle produced the architectural model of Álvaro Dominguez’s proposal for MACOSA. The work translated the architectural project into a physical object through component preparation, laser cutting and assembly.
The accompanying text places this model within the studio’s ongoing experience: over several years, Archicercle had produced models of different interpretations of the same project. The value of that experience lay in seeing how different architects responded to a shared challenge. This model represents Álvaro Dominguez’s proposal.
Archicercle’s contribution focused on producing the model, rather than designing the architectural project. Breaking the model down into components, laser cutting and assembly were the documented operations used to turn the proposal into a set of assembled parts.
The composition combines rectangular volumes and overlapping planes. White and brown surfaces, together with areas of repeated linear detail, form a physical representation in which the different parts of the scheme can be distinguished.
