Open ETSAB-UPC, Disseny Hub Barcelona

The current social, economic, technological, and environmental context has stimulated a rethinking of design methodologies and the potential of multidisciplinary, cooperative, and reflective work. ‘La Construcció de Valors’ is an ephemeral space that, as a response to this context, aims to convey the values of architecture, the school of architecture, the university, and its community of students, professors, and researchers. It is a construction that speaks of personal, academic, and professional values. But it also shows the quantifiable structural and geometrical values that enable its design, manufacture, and construction. It speaks of architects and architecture. It speaks of the ETSAB-UPC.

It is a modular construction, with an aggregation system that is easy to assemble, flat-pack pieces, and digitally manufactured with a CNC milling machine. The material used is birch plywood panels, a composite with high mechanical capacity and a low carbon footprint. The entire component system is joined at nodes with press-fit joints.
