ESPAI FORMICA_ A PLACE TO BELONG
Ephimeral space
Location: Nau Bostik, Barcelona
Final degree project
This intervention seeks to review and question the ability of collective spaces, public and private, to adapt to a changing society, to contribute to a new common sense of space and, therefore, a new collective sense of belonging.
The project develops an ephemeral architectural intervention to reactivate one of the warehouses within the Nau Bostik complex into a new decapitalized, de-hierarchized and inclusive space for the collectivity.
The reactivation is carried out through the creation of a sequence of spaces of coexistence, which will evoke a new collective domesticity through audiovisual and sensorial installations through the materiality of its elements.
The space has been designed entirely with Formica® high-pressure laminates, enhancing the versatility and capacity of the material to create multipurpose atmospheres and architectural spaces. Through the combination of metallic finishes with different levels of reflectivity and a plain color, a space full of nuances and contrasts has been created to present a new scenario in the city to communicate and explore a new sense of collective belonging.
Espai Formica® is a collaborative academic/professional project developed between Elisava and RISD,led by the design studio musing-selles for the company Formica Group. This project has been presented during Barcelona Design Week 2022.
