Miguel Guitart will be lecturing at the Congress of Ceramics and Architecture on May 24th.

La propuesta para esta vivienda ubicada en el centro de Madrid nace con la idea de poder adaptar una antigua estructura residencial de mediados del siglo XX a una forma de vida contemporánea. Se proyecta un contenedor blanco matizado por una serie de elementos elaborados en madera de mongoi que, sin segregar el espacio y sin restarle flexibilidad, configuran el espacio a las particularidades vitales de su propietario. En definitiva, se plantea un espacio neutro salpicado de piezas de mobiliario que definen y activan el espacio domestico.
The proposal for this urban apartment located in downtown Madrid is conceived on the idea of adapting an old mid-twentieth century residential structure into a new way of life. A white container is softened by a series of elements in mongoi wood, which, without dividing or turning the space inflexible, configure the interior to reach the vital particularities of its proprietor. Therefore, a neutral architecture gets spattered by pieces of furniture that define and activate the domestic realm.

El proyecto para el nuevo Centro Parroquial de Bonavista ofrece una respuesta precisa al programa y a la liturgia partiendo de dos premisas recurrentes a lo largo de la historia de la Iglesia Católica: la monumentalidad y el misterio. Se reivindica la iglesia como acontecimiento urbano y social así como espacio singular y trascendente. La solución propuesta segrega el programa en dos partes diferenciadas, el centro parroquial y la iglesia, con el objetivo de plantear un edificio en esquina que contenga la trama urbana y procure un fondo neutro que enmarque el volumen de la iglesia. Ésta se plantea como un edificio exento que enfatiza las cuestiones poéticas de su arquitectura con un marcado orden espiritual que se relaciona con lo trascendente.
The project for the new Santa Maria Parish Center in Bonavista offers a specific solution to the needs of the program and the liturgy taking as a starting point two premises recurrent throughout the history of the Catholic Church: monumentality and mystery. The church is vindicated as a social and urban event and as a singular and transcendent space. The proposed complex splits the program into two differentiated elements, the parish center and the church itself, so as to present a corner scheme so as to contain the urban fabric and provide a neutral background to frame the volume of the church. Its detached building stresses the poetic matters of its architecture and relates to the transcendent.

Two parallel buildings enclose a green space within where all the housing units look into. This green area is visually connected with the street, and is perceived as a quiet oasis, thus complementing the housing program and promoting neighbors interaction. Opposed to the stone-like appearance of the outer façades, a softer treatment is developed for the façades that look onto the green area. The use of translucent undulated polycarbonate panels produces reflections that multiply the greenery around The units are organized in stripes that allow the serving spaces to step back from the main façade. A long terrace runs along the whole length of each unit, thus extending the domestic space beyond the house and working as a filter through which the house connects with the outside.
