Barcelona Topotype Studiocollaboration w/ Geoffrey Sorrell

This studio was set up around the idea of a topotype. All work from this section is a collaboration with Geoffrey Sorrell. The professor of this studio Angie Co describes a topotype as, In architecture, the topotype lies at the intersection of topology, typology and topography. It can be constructed through single, seminal spaces (Architecture), or from reoccurring spatial conditions in the city (architectures) topotypes are organizations constituted from fragments of buildings, infrastructures, and environments, and are understood through their specic powers and effects. This topotype context was applied to our Barcelona Studio to produce topotypes that are unique to a Barcelona and Mediterranean context. The rst part of this studio was to located pre-existing topotypes in Barcelona. The topotype we established and studied was called the Super/Sub Market. This market condition is found in several places throughout the city and com-bines a fresh market at ground level with a supermarket below grade. The Conception Market in the Exiample was specically studied to nd its powers and effects. The next part of the studio was to study the powers and effects that came from the previous studies in the studio and apply them on an existing structure known as the Umbricle, located in Parc de la Ciutadella. This transformation of the Umbricle resulted in temporal extension and sectional shifting. The next part of the studio took place in Montpellier, France and again used powers and effects to redesign an existing courtyard space. The powers used for this phase of the project were the passage and layered surfaces. This phase of the studio also involved adding program to the space. In our case we added a small library and reading space for the residents who lived around the courtyard. The nal phase of this studio was a design problem given to us by Eduardo Cadaval & Clara Sol-Morales. This problem consisted of redesigning and repopulating an existing courtyard in the Exiample part of the city. The program consisted of space for a library and low rent housing for young people. A playground was also added to the project because it was pre-existing on our site. Our project spread the library into small sections across the site to help repopulate the site. The housing part of the project was placed along one edge of the site where buildings had been torn down. This helped add a contiguity to the site that was previously lacking. This project once again used the idea of the topotype and used the powers of layered surfaces and the passage.
