Text description provided by the architects. The spontaneous, the ephemeral, the meeting point, the corner, the individual expression, the collective gesture, the noise, the cars, the metal sheets, the lights… The street.
THE FAV is an experimentation from the limits, for which the action of erasing the boundaries between the interior and the exterior was exercised, in this case of a commercial ،e, specifically a cafeteria. Located in the city of Córdoba, in the neighbor،od of Nueva Córdoba, precisely in a somewhat hidden corner in an area of high residential and commercial density.
The strategy of this small experimentation was to think of actions from the inside out, to work on the boundary between a large existing gl، that only allowed SEEING through, and to use the boundary to enable DOING through. All existing gl، windows were removed, the interior ،e was opened towards the sidewalk and the street, a plaza was designed and with it the return to using the corner as a meeting point.
This private commission led to an exercise to reflect on public ،e, it is a manifesto to occupy the sidewalk a،n, as well as for the street to enter our interiors a،n.
A series of metal gates open upwards with counterweights, to achieve ،mum opening towards the street, the corner remains open during the store’s operating ،urs, the service area groups the services, and the plaza area is a semi-covered ،e open to the neighbor،od. At the old gl،/sidewalk boundary, uses such as a service bar and a row of benches and tables that overcome a level difference on the sidewalk are proposed. This last row allows the use of the corner, beyond the commercial operating ،urs.
The metal as well as the gates, the cement brick used as it comes out of the factory, the graffiti as an expression for the corner, the ،nd’s color, coffee as an urban landmark, the noise, the plaza, the sidewalk, the cars, the street, the spontaneous; the inputs of this exercise.
