8 Bucharest Triennale East Centric Architecture – 3rd Edition

‹Home› achieved through familiarity, defined by experience over time, may allow us to reflect on adaptive reuse projects in which we have been involved, such us the new Sala Beckett International Drama Centre in Barcelona. The project is the renovation of a social landmark: the conversion of a former workers’ Cooperative that served the neighborhood where it sits for more than one hundred years. After closing its doors in 1980, it remained in the memories of those who live around it. The abandoned building was not listed, so the decision of preserving it or not was significant at the moment of the competition.
We thought that what was still remaining contained the memories of the former Cooperative, so we decided not to demolish, accepting the ruin as a new starting point, a new life for the old building. It was a case of emotional heritage as much as physical heritage, and thus our efforts were to keep these memories inside the building. This is a design decision of major ideological importance, because for us the idea of patrimony does not come from pater, it cannot be imposed from above, but instead arises from time and experience, from what is radically collective. – Eva Prats & Ricardo Flores

Finally, a non-auto-referential architecture, but one which stands out through a different dimension. This isn’t about the kind of building you are looking at. It is rather an invitation to an experience. I always imagined museum visitors as difficult and sophisticated people, well aware of what’s what. Surely, the abstract art and installation that were to be exhibited here also influenced the way in which the intervention was designed. – Maria Alexandra Tase

East Centric Projects

I’m imagining gates, doorways, not meant to allow access from or into an enclosed area… meant to be crossed not for the purpose of reaching the other side, but for the actual apparently simple act of crossing them, getting lost in the instantaneous moment of the crossing, and then exiting (…) They are transit spaces from one place back to itself, openings (…) in a border between different selves… – Dana Milea & Mihai Zachi
