SIMPLIFICATION
SPECIFICATION
INNOVATION
34 ARQUITECTURA is a Barcelona-based architecture office founded in 2012. It´s approach is defined by its engagement with all stages of any given project and by a working system based on three principles: simplification of methodologies, specification and investment in innovation
WHAT WE WANT
WHAT WE NEED
It is requiered a more critical description of what we want and what we need, of what helps us live better and really stimulates our emotions. It´s time to propound a more efficient architecture with less resources
INVESTMENT vs BENEFIT
Nowadays, projects must withstand the relationship between investment and benefit in all its scales. We must asses economical issues as a critical attribute of a better architecture
FROM CONCEPTS TO FINAL FORM
We want to transmit to the smallest built detail that principle that motivated the very first sketch
FLEXIBILITY
Main objective: Space flexibility for minimum intervention costs in case of change in use.
Generic distributions based on spaces with similar dimensions and characteristics will allow for multiple uses and a longer useful life of the building
REFURBISHMENT = RE-THINK
In terms of environmental, social and economical sustainability, focusing on the existing housing becomes imperative. We must re-think and transform what exists. The city of the future has already been built
TECHNOLOGY
CREATIVITY
ECONOMY
We sistematically combine both technical and creative disciplines in order to propose an economically sustainable architecture
CLIENT
We reject taking part in large public architecture competitions in order to scale, compose and equip an studio fitted to each client's needs
MORE WITH LESS
Minimum but effective interventions must be taken into account instead of those that appear as unavoidable but prove to be unfocused on their effects (when future benefits in terms of comfort do not justify its economic cost)
COHERENCE
Structural and material simplicity helps us explain the project and show the means of each decision
