Bricktopia: contemporary crafts in EME3 Festival, Barcelona

Subscriber Access

Bricktopia, by the architects of the international collective Map13, is the winning project in the "Build-it" category of the Eme3 International Architecture Festival, held on June 27-30, 2013, in Barcelona. The pavilion can be visited throughout the summer at the square of the former spinning mill Fabra i Coats in the Sant Andreu district.

This intervention sets a new square which can house different activities, both under the pavilion and around it. Public spaces for bathrooms, sun, bar and stage for enjoying the summer 2013. It is a brick domed structure that employs the traditional construction system of a partitioned vault (or "Catalan vault") computed with new digital tools for the structural optimization of the geometry.
