The project follows, prolongs, folds, extremes, populates, saturates, intricates, entertains, challenges, transforms, and redefines the order of the organizational model of the fluid and continuous space of the Barcelona Pavilion by Mies Van de Rohe from 1929
It follows the linearity of its envelopes and sets a single envelope where interior and exterior are indiscernible and mutually determined. It prolongs the segmentarity of its partitions and dilutes its objectuality, its discreet condition, its self-monumentality. It folds the rectilinearity of its partitions and involves them in a single coiled skein. It extremes the continuity of its enclosures and makes its accidentality and its irreducible condition, generic and continuous order. It populates its spaces and transforms them into pure circulation. Increase the transparency until it becomes translucency. It saturates the void and makes it full, dense. It intricates fullness and adapts to contingencies, absorbing them and literally making them the very consistency of space. It confuses the different, it entertains.
