Inspirational Documents
The documents of a project before it is built seek to represent what we believe the place is going to be; they contain a mixture of reality and fiction, bringing together distant situations. The tables lead into cultivated fields, the greenhouses into streets full of markets… all describing the new community that will grow in this place where everything is possible. These documents contain dreams and desires, and like dreams they are fragmentary. As inspirational documents, they are linked to the sense of intuition and to the intrinsically unfinished action of moving forward. For this reason, they mix stories and personal experiences, allowing each one who looks at them to see different things, helping us to discuss and to exchange.

For the collective housing complex Building 111 on the edge of Barcelona, the challenge to create a community between people of very diverse backgrounds generates all kinds of speculations through drawings and models of what the place will be. These documents focus on the unifying strength of a central patio which invites the neighbours to get to know each other and converse.
In the case of Lund, the open, boundless condition of the place inspires documents that want to capture and assemble, to contain all the elements that will form part of this new community, the field and its crops, the flowers, the land, the dew, the tables and the children around them.
