Sumit Singhal loves modern architecture. He comes from a family of builders who have built more than 20 projects in the last ten years near Delhi in India. He has recently started writing about the architectural projects that catch his imagination. Estudio IGLOO in Valencia, SpainJune 25th, 2018 by Sumit Singhal

Its spatial structure is radically longitudinal, four meters wide by twenty meters deep and four meters high. We had to give form to a work space flexible enough to be able to contain both a small or a large work group, and could also englobe several simultaneous uses. On the longitudinal sides we place the storage: the right side will contain the secondary spaces – bathroom, kitchen, archive and reprography – and the left, the library. The back part of the space contains a three by two fifty meters wall we will use as a projection screen.  Image Courtesy © DAVID FRUTOS

Studying the configuration of the public space of the neighborhood -the sidewalks-, we detected that they are extremely fluid circulation elements, in which there are NO spaces where you can rest or talk -benches- and the few we can find are paid -cafeteries-. We propose an intermediate space – an activity condenser – that has a double function: first, to serve as a flying goal, a place to stop to talk, and second as an energy transformer. For this we have two stools and a static bike. The first encourages social encounters, and the second encourages healthy living and responsible consumption. By pedaling, the user can generate enough energy to charge a mobile phone and, at the same time, it makes you consume your own, practicing sports.

The cork roof describes a changing profile. Through the succession of large blocks of white cork -which act as beams in transverse position- we can modify the section according to the interior space and the use that it requires. Through this operation the space will change, not only its quality and form, but also the perception of it.
