FRIENDS TELL ABOUT

The most important construction material used in this project is light. A changing light that allows
the generation of very diverse atmospheres. Thus, that the very conception of artificial light as an

architectural element vanishes to achieve a much more abstract presence. Large backlit surfaces
bathe the entire space with uniform and homogeneous lighting, without allowing a good understan-
ding of the boundaries of the place.

What we were looking for in this project was to create spaces in the most radical way possible. To do

this, the first exercise we developed was to look for mechanisms and systems to hide all those ele-
ments that are put at the service of the proper functioning of the clinic. In this way, all the cabinets,
desks, machines, and other fixed furniture are hidden behind large mobile panels that allow the user
to experience a completely ethereal and ephemeral space, almost sidereal.
