The project arises from the fusion of the vocabulary of the garden and that of the peripheral industry. Materials and techniques from the industrial field are displaced to build a musical infrastructure halfway between the city and the countryside: projected concrete, thermal insulation of facades, prefabricated, metal reinforcement, formwork sheets or parking pavements are resignified when associated with vines, trees and planters. The result is a new hybrid landscape that allows the fertile substrate of the valley to sprout again, wrapping a raised architecture that forms an interior patio, a crater, in which to isolate yourself from the noisy exterior space.
A protected space is thus delimited by a dark wall that underlines the presence of the nearby vegetation and the mountains and the sky in the distance. In the lower part there are entrances, bar, toilets, stage and stalls. A higher level enables a privileged box, a space dumped on the stage and the views. Both levels are connected by a lowered ladder that in turn acts as a piece of furniture to support the bar. The result is a synthetic hybrid landscape, between the natural and the artificial. A landscape that allows the fertile substrate of the fertile plain to regrow again, wrapping a raised architecture that forms an interior patio, a crater, in which to isolate yourself from the noisy exterior space.
A protected space that is thus delimited by a dark wall that underlines the presence of the nearby vegetation and the mountains and the sky in the distance. The Copera’s Garden is a scenic space within an industrial landscape. A surprising place, designed to provoke a unique musical experience, between the fertile plain and the industry, between the natural and the artificial. -Colaborators: Elisa Enriquez de Luna Muñoz (ER7 Arquitectos) / Nicolás Martínez Rueda (Estudiante de Arquitectura) / Rocío López Berenguer (Arquitecta) / Yuri Espadas Heras (Estudiante de Arquitectura) / Fernando Álvarez de Cienfuegos (Diseño Gráfico); Miguel Ángel Jiménez Dengra (Estructuras) -Owner: Industrial Copera -Budget: 115.000 euros -Cost/m2: 328,30 e/m2 -Surface: 350m2
