La Mina Social Center
Barcelona, Spain
One might come to think that the new building was already there.
There are no prior hypotheses, only project hypotheses… The decisions taken are only beginnings… they are not concluded. They are incomplete phrases… Indeterminacies that allow us to stop at intermediate moments of the construction: there where all the actors that make it possible still haven’t abandoned the place… Where the mechanisms go beyond the project proposals…
In La Mina, the same difficulty of working in an always dark interior makes us think about the need to make the envelope disappear… So that this hall is nothing more than an exterior porch…A crossing of two paths.
