Conjuntos Empáticos developed this idea called «Esferificaciones» as the creation of a place where people could have a different way of relating to the environment. The aim of these architectural prototypes was also to encourage new forms of socialization and urban interaction, a way to activate the idea of play in a safe way.
«Esferificaciones» achieve this effect in their organic forms thanks to their reflective bands, gold on the outer sides and silver on the inside. At the top and bottom is a transparent plastic to connect the interior with the environment in which it is located.

Description of project by Conjuntos Empáticos
We propose these prototypes of urban spherifications as a spatial technique that uses contemporaneity to generate and foster dynamics of socialization that interact with the environment in which they are located. The delimitation of space through reflective textures allows us to create new ephemeral relationships between static and fluctuating reality, allowing us a deeper and more complex urban understanding.
A space to sit; look without being seen; or play safely. An architecture of conciliation is capable of generating friendlier situations and allowing the interaction of different species. This architecture is developed with different materials of a reduced gauge, the membrane being blown by industrial fans. Its clover-shaped configuration encourages traffic dynamics, allowing for greater enjoyment of the urban space.
