In addition, the installation was temporary, so the architects created a large removable scaffold covered by fabrics that forms a permeable and semi-transparent box. The volume ends up becoming a spatial mesh that empties inside and encloses a space capable of hosting multiple uses.

Description of project by Flu-or Arquitectura and Alba González
Tribuna Publica (Public stage) origins from a transversal spirit, from the local administration, cultural institutions and citizens, as a cultural and social asset, whose purpose is to create a space open to debate and rethinking about the future of the historical harbour landmarks in the city of A Coruña.
This active and collective platform had a varied cultural programme, including political discussions, workshops, lectures, film projections, concerts and scientific research labs, under four major themes: urbanism, science and environment, memory and cultural action.
Located in a historic tobacco factory (Plaza de la Antigua Fabrica de Tabacos), and one step away from the seaside and the fish market, the environment brings a strong symbolic and identity component to the project.
The proposal comes from our own perception of the harbour, putting together all the elements in our memories that connect us with these port spaces, as a result, the installation creates a fluid and crossing space for the citizens, in contrast with the existing closeness.
Due to the ephemeral nature of the project, the construction is based on detachable and reusable elements assembling a complex system of scaffolds, the result is a permeable and immersive mesh, able to host multiple uses along its time.
Tribuna displays as a volume made with a dense mesh that encloses an outdoor space. The exterior is covered with a light net, which outlines the volume while it shows the internal structure.
Tribuna Publica was an ephemeral structure. Open, diverse, discussed, lived, transformed and studied.
