Architecture and Design
Articles, reports, and interviews featuring case studies relevant to the world of contemporary architecture and design.
We interviewed Marina del Mármol and Mauro Bravo about their SFJ6 project, which rethinks the construction of social housing in the wake of the pandemic. The design focuses on well-being in both interior and exterior spaces, promoting social interaction and the connection between the homes and the city.
The SFJ6 project in Puente de Vallecas, Madrid, envisions social housing designed to optimize small spaces without compromising quality of life. Featuring cross ventilation and access to balconies, the common areas encourage social interaction, incorporating warm materials like Parklex Prodema timber panels.
Thanks to technological advancements in construction and architecture, natural timber can achieve levels of resistance comparable to other contemporary materials without requiring constant and costly maintenance. We review the available options for wooden exteriors in the market.
The Aspen Art Museum designed by Shigeru Ban features a lattice of natural timber panels that acts as a thermal envelope, regulating temperature and light inside. After 10 years of extreme weather, Parklex Prodema timber has proven its durability without the need for maintenance, retaining its original aesthetics.
