i love this project, it makes city it inspires other architecture, it’s sober but human. Maybe there’s a little lack of color but i would like to imagine this building 10 years later full of graffitis or with other signs of the life of his inhabitants. it’s surprising this is a MVRDV project, positively surprising.

I am fan of MVRDV but the “new ghetto’” design is a sept down.

I hope the grayness and minimalism of the building is intentional and that MVRDV is aiming to achieve something like Harzbergers did with the Central Beheer office building – less space for the designers imposed shapes and collors, more space for private initiative and so called bottom-up design. Well see what will happen.

Power to the people xD

I wouldn’t say polycarbonated (shiny) concrete looks anything near sad in the spanish sun. And knowing average design and execution quality of appartment blocks in Spain (a lot of money is made by poor design), I think the word ‘prison’ couldn’t be more far of from the feeling the inhabitants will have with it.

I’m curious about the plans …
