GARCIAGERMAN ARQUITECTOS — BLACK EXECUTIVE AVIATION

GARCIAGERMAN ARQUITECTOS

A contemporary working space by means of an urgent appropriation and scale shift of a well-loved Modern icon.The commission called for a low budget intervention in an hangar located in Cuatro Vientos airport, housing a temporary management and coworking space devoted to the business of private flying. By concentrating all resources in mobile elements (a set of carpets and large communal tables), this makeshift organization can be easily relocated elsewhere; a settlement as temporary as the location of aeroplanes themselves. By means of appropriating the famous Alvar Aalto vase shape and transforming its profile into three huge digital-cutt cross laminated timber (CLT) tables, an optimum working & relational informal space is attained, while modestly insisting in the availability and performative capacity of Modernism as a ready-made archive.Project: Black Executive AviationStatus: Built (2020)Client: PrivateLocation: Cuatro Vientos, Madrid, Spain Team: Jacobo García-Germán, Miguel López, Raquel Díaz de la Campa, Marta RoldánConsultants: HDFaber (digital fabrication)Builder: IC-10 Proyectos Técnicos y Construcciones + HDFaber made with Lay Theme
