in collaboration with:
Rose Wang, Michelle Jacobo, Hannah Fitch This dual facade design based in the city of Barcelona exemplifies architectural innovation. Developed in a workshop guided by architects Jaime Prous and Pablo Garrido, this project creatively combines form and function through shading devices, adapting to the sun’s path. On the southern facade, rotating wooden panels perform a dual role, allowing natural light to create a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow and offer optional privacy. On the western facade, static panels correspond with the shifting angles of the afternoon sun, diffusing light and casting patterns throughout the space. This project underscores the power of light and shadow in architecture, enriching spaces with both beauty and functionality.
