Design Experimentation Lab

In the architectural experimentation laboratory, we aim to explore working methods that are not commonly used in practice. In this case, we focus on chance and necessity. Working on a familiar site, we analyze both visible and invisible tensions—ranging from subjective perceptual ones to measurable physical forces—and carry out a random superposition of layers that will generate an unexpected geometry. From this, we select or discard elements according to their relevance for the overall design of the project.

This process is inspired by projects such as the Parc de la Villette by Bernard Tschumi, as well as works by Rem Koolhaas, among others.Students learn to design an urban square in which invisible layers overlap to generate the unexpected, creating a dynamic and surprising structure of events.
