Qui viu ahí? — Assemblable spaces by Anna Escrig

The project

Qui viu ahí? is a project by Anna Escrig that encourages children to reflect on the idea of dwelling and spatiality. Archicercle advised the designer on manufacturing her designs and began production once the Kickstarter campaign reached its funding target.

The collaboration began with Anna Escrig’s designs. Our contribution focused on manufacturing advice and production, keeping the authorship of the proposal distinct from its realisation in the workshop.

The set uses flat pieces with slots, notches and geometric openings. Circles, rectangles and arches appear in the panels, which combine to form volumes and define spaces. One configuration takes the shape of a small house, with a pitched roof, a rectangular window and an arched opening.

The production posts include laid-out components and stacked panels with repeated profiles. These views complement the assembled structures, making the relationship between the flat components and the spatial forms they create easier to understand.

The documentation also includes a variant identified as Qui viu ahí? XL. It features intersecting panels, groups of upright pieces and elements with large arched openings. These arrangements extend the project from the recognisable form of a house to compositions of partitions and connected spaces.

By November 2016, the campaign had reached its funding target and production was under way at Archicercle. This is the stage documented here: the transition from the designer’s proposals to their manufacture.

Slots and geometric openings link the flat components to the assembled spaces.

Qui viu ahí? XL includes arrangements of intersecting panels and pieces with arched openings.
