The project
This model was built around a clear premise: to represent an architectural intervention intended to blend into the mountainous landscape of Sot de Chera. Archicercle selected the scale and materials to explain the project within its surroundings, focusing on the relationship between the two.
The 1:400 scale allowed the model to encompass a broad area of the surrounding landscape. Rather than isolating the intervention, it places it within the terrain, making topography an essential part of how the whole model is understood.
Wood was used for the contour layers, while the intervention was made from ecocarten in a very similar colour. These closely matched tones support the aim of integration: the architecture remains identifiable through its geometry without introducing a strong contrast in materials or colour.
Stacked layers define the slopes on either side of the intervention, which consists of flat, stepped elements. The result brings architecture and terrain together in a representation whose scale and material choices reinforce the visual continuity of the whole.
