The project
Archicercle produced the model for Marta Saiz’s final-year architecture project, presented as “Haití”. The model represents a proposal inspired by Japanese architecture, combining light-coloured volumes with dark vertical elements.
The studio’s contribution was the production of the 1:200 scale model using laser cutting and engraving. The commission involved representing an academic project: Archicercle’s documented role was to make the model, rather than design the architectural proposal.
The materials used were 2.5 and 5 mm MDF, together with Daler, Cartomat, Pancastar and Ecocarten card. The project caption links this combination of materials to the intention of representing the Japanese architectural language that inspired the project.
The model brings together several connected, stepped volumes on a light-coloured base. White planes, openings and dark slat-like elements introduce varying visual densities into the representation of the building.
