Re-Edificatoria is a photographic project on the encounter between the built and the "to be built". A photographic series that chronicles the time of transition in which each intervention is a cover layer to the previous one until the final result is given.

Re-Edificatoria is the series that photographer Adrià Goula is exhibiting in the Spanish pavilion of the 15th architectural exhibition of the Venice Biennale. It is the result of a deep reflection on the social construction frenzy that occurred in Spain during the housing boom and its consequences.
Description of the project by Adrià Goula
(Operitium instauratio revisited)
Re-build, build on what already exists, pick a project and redo it from top to bottom. The intersection of two eras, two architects, two different construction techniques: an explosive encounter. A cross in the same space and time of destruction and construction, demolition and installation. The two worlds intermingle in a temporary chaos. The guts of the work, imperfect, brutal, complex, unpredictable, are scattered throughout the slit open building. New interventions overlap multiple layers that did not even know existed, forming a sandwich of the building's history. An impure solutions catalog, gradually portions are removed, others sewed, capped, and in the end there are no traces of drastic intervention. Having seen the building inside shows his true inner beyond its final appearance.
This project has been made possible thanks to the interest of different entities and architectural studies documenting these intermediate processes. Thanks to all, especially Ricardo Flores, Eva Prats, Josep Lluis Mateo and Daniel Isern.
