Veiled enclosures
Two pavilions, structures whose size and perforations evoke the forms of stubble burners or small tool sheds. Roughed out preliminary spaces. Open-air rooms squarely-aligned to the existing traces of the irrigation channels that form their base and water the northern fields of Valencia.
This project is the result of an initiative to highlight the cultural and agricultural value of l’Horta Nord in Valencia, engaging in an intimate dialogue with the site's historical traces and using ceramics as a unifying element.
The lattice ceramic block was developed specifically for this project by Bona fide taller in close collaboration with Nuet Ceramica. The cross-shaped perforations filter light, air, and sight, alternating in a set of two pieces of tighter and wider pattern.
The arrangement and perforations of the primary ceramic block shape the walls, complemented by a series of secondary ceramic elements—honeycomb blocks, mechanized bricks, flat tiles-. These additional pieces stitch the jambs of openings, wedge the prefabricated lintel beams, bind the open latticework, or align the rows of blocks with the irrigation channels.
Flooring shows a patchwork of ceramic profiles from the extrusion nozzles and display complex figures -an intermediate stage of production where paired profiles and auxiliary elements ensure proper handling, drying, and firing-. These "pavers" capture the aesthetic richness embedded in the manufacturing process.
