Under the name "Types of spaces" the project designed by the studios Palma and Hanghar, on the occasion of the "Concéntrico Architecture Festival", returns to the place where it is located its condition of built space.
From a series of rooms, a spatial procession of corridors and rooms of domestic character is formed, reconstructing the leisure of the passage of the old Tobacco Factory of La Rioja.

In the intervention by Palma and Hanghar, the interior rooms seek to provide the user who walks through them with an unexpected atmospheric experience, returning to an exterior condition that reminds the walker of the public nature of the intervention.
The rooms are built with 30x30cm thermo-clay bricks that give the project a familiar and cozy condition thanks to the use of a material so typical of the collective imagination.

Description of project by Palma & Hanghar
The project is located in the passage of the old Tobacco Factory of La Rioja, an urban space of narrow and elongated dimensions, filled by a monumental red brick chimney. The project restores the site to its status as a built space by consolidating the facades and giving the tobacco factory as a whole its original unity. The interior is articulated through the concatenation of a series of square rooms of 3.6x3.6m that form a spatial procession of corridors and rooms of domestic character, thus reconstructing the emptiness of the passage.
The rooms, open to the sky, explore various spatial possibilities through a rotund geometry in plan while its domestic scale, so far away from the public space of the city, moves the occupant from visitor to inhabitant, allowing the possibility of interacting with the installation in a deeper way. The interior rooms provide those who pass through them with an unexpected atmospheric experience, which returns the inhabitant to an exterior condition that reminds him of the public nature of the intervention.
These sort of programmatically generic but spatially specific spaces are built with 30x30cm thermo clay bricks that give the project a familiar condition thanks to the use of a material so typical of the collective imaginary. Moreover, the brick block is both material and spatial unit of the project, generating a system of stereotomic appearance capable of veiling its tectonic logic thanks to the massiveness of its pieces. The floor, covered with discarded brick chips, gives the space material continuity while slowing down the passage of those who pass through it and providing a leisurely experience away from the bustle of the city.

P A L M A is a young architecture office based in Mexico City. It was founded by Ilse Cárdenas, Regina De Hoyos, Diego Escamilla & Juan Luis Rivera, all of whom studied at the UNAM School of Architecture.
The practice is geared towards finding integrated and individual solutions to each architectural problem. Our approach is based off a detailed analysis of the immediate context and a design process which is open to experimentation and exploration. The result is a constant search towards an architecture of atmospheres which move people and truly belong.
