Any material, any structure, has an intrinsic poetic that architects continuously seek to unravel. And so have peris+toral.arquitectes with their temporal information point in Glorias. An unexpected use of the scaffold System for which, from METALOCUS, we give them an A+.

Horizontal and elongated, this information point, designed by the catalan architects peris+toral arquitectes, is a consecution of filters.
In the longitudinal direction, the change in space is defined by the material: wood, plexiglass and a sucession of layers of simple mesh fence accompany users on their journey, generating variable external relations that put the piece in the inside-out gap.
In the cross one, the scaffolding system and the outer layers of mesh give it an image of lightness that dilute it with the environment. A great job of enhancing the scaffold structure as a means for the construction of a temporary quality space.

Description of the project by peris+toral arquitectes
In response to both the temporality of the facility and the context where is located, Peris+Toral stands up for a detachable and reusable construction that minimizes the trace on the territory: a scaffolding system as structure and formal solution of the project.
This temporary facility built a year ago by the Catalan practice Peris+Toral, is part of the provisional urbanization of the Glòries Square in Barcelona. With this project, the studio reasserts a new way of working and enhances its search for new solutions and constructive processes.
The facility is thought to be an information point, an exhibition area about the proposed project of the square and rental point of electric bicycles. Is located in a crossroads of pedestrian circulations; which crosses the square towards the sea-mountain and another which transversely connects the two nearby facilities: nursery oaks and the new pergola.
In its temporary condition, the construction is subtly integrated into the transformational environment of Glòries Square. Its linear shape, materials and its structural system highlight both their ephemeral character and the idea of permeability. Along these lines, scaffolding acts as a support of the three envelopes necessary to provide habitability to the construction: an impermeable and translucent polycarbonate skin, a shade mesh and a metal mesh as a protection. The areas which host the internal program and services are solved by two structural prefabricated modules of site hut, whereas wood on the pavement and on the transverse thresholds provide warmer areas in the facility.
