Addressing this need, the design for the new MACBA was developed in partnership between Harquitectes + Christ & Gantenbein as a new volume opposite the current venue. Positioned aro

Our design combines the urban block and the corner: it adopts the height of the eaves characteristic to Berlin, in order to continue the block, and a subtle setback

Cities were proud of their newly founded art academies and celebrated the future artists within monumental architecture. Since the 20th century, this situation has und

No es el caso de esta casa. El sol, la geometría de la parcela (casi cuadrada con un chaflán), un vecino excesivamente cercano a sur, y una torre de viviendas a norte, más propia de un polígono residencial de los sesent

Of course, we knew that any project is a reaction to its circumstances. This is an apparently simple, stable and regular building that contains an unexpected and exaggerated interior. This is the world of innovation; a continuous, fl
