Amid Cero9. On complex geometry

The trajectory of Efrén & Cristina has been widely and bright, nationally and internationally. If you're in Barcelona you have a good chance to go to know them, if you go to the ESARQ this Friday. AMID Cero9 officce will present its work with structures and covered with complex geometry, such as the Palace Cherry Blossom in Valley Jerte (Extremadura, Spain) and explain their application in covered outdoor markets.

The Palace is a facility under construction in the valley of Jerte that has been defined by the authors as "a contemporary chapel that defies the usual definitions of auditorium or conference center." Its structure is lined with flat scales composed of ceramic pieces that adapt to the initial geometry, based on complex mathematical structures with different sizes which depend on the curvature of the surface. Inside, this structure is replicated forming a tessellated surface of diamonds, triangles and pentagons that allows you to tune the acoustics of the room.

Dates: Friday, November 9, 2012 - Time: 12:00h
Venue: Aula Alfa 302. ESARQ-UIC. C/ Immaculada, 22, 08017 Barcelona.

Amid Cero9 García Grinda y Díaz Moreno

Cristina Díaz Moreno & Efrén García Grinda. An afterpop approach to contemporary notion of space that enlists sociology, technology, media, politics and representation in projects ranging from architecture (Cherry Blossom Pavilion in Jerte Valley, Spain, shown at the 12th Biennale di Venezia, Giner de los Ríos Foundation in Madrid, Diagonal80 Industrial Pavillion in Madrid) to design (ESA Pavillion), to ecosystemic studies (The Magic Mountain in Ames, We as a plague in Rome, TRP in Venice) and modelling hybrid cities (Aijalaranta in Jyväskylä, or Hhouse in Balearic Islands). Díaz Moreno and García Grinda, both architects, teach at the Architectural Asoociation, London, as Diploma Unit Masters where they develop “Third Natures”.

Recent projects include the Diagonal 80 building in San Augustín del Guadalix, Madrid, Golden Balloon for MOT Tokyo and Giner de los Ríos Foundation, Madrid.
