#17 HANGHAR (SP), Arquitetura Entre Vistas ABROAD

Our 17h stop is at HANGHAR (Madrid, Spain) to meet Eduardo Mediero, he shares with us the intriguing philosophy of a firm that thrives on the ticking clock of a ten-year deadline, all activity will be ceased on 31st December 2030.

Throughout our conversation, we dissect how HANGHAR is flipping the script on real estate norms by designing apartments free from the constraints of traditional room functions. “I am very interested in how very defined and very structured sets of rules or decisions opens up and frees it’s way of lIving.”. The superimposition of the grid might have a word on that…listen to find out the secret.

Ok…ok…I might reveal a little bit about that:

“Our work is always focused on a sort of architecture that could somehow fight agains te veracious speculation of our city. That’s when spacial grid apartments started to happen in which we were asked to renovated apartments but we didn’t know what the final owner is going to be. Creating an apartment that had no rooms no, bedrooms, no master bedrooms, no dining rooms but just this sort of spaces that the market was unable to define.”

Geometry as an abstraction tool…only for those who know how to use it.
