ファラが設計した、ポルトガルのマルコ・デ・カナヴェゼスの、集合住宅「houses of cards」です。
５つの住戸を持つ建築の計画です。建築家は、“遊び心”のある“帯状”の要素で全体を包んで、住戸群をひとつに見せかけ“集団と私的の緊張関係にあるオブジェ”を志向しました。また、内部では道と庭を繋ぐ横断的な構成の中に擬似的な中心を作る事も意図されました。
The maximum buildable volume was found to be a distorted box, two-storeys high. Refusing the fragmentation prevalent in the surroundings, the five houses pretend to be one. An object in tension between the collective and the private – a plural wedding cake.
Its cohesion lies in a facade that wraps playfully around the four sides, roughly structured in vertical bands: openings (porte-fenetres and balconies) alternate with walls (complete with triangular crowns and marble belly buttons). The clashing rhythms and exceptions give the internal dissensions away.
The ground floor is floating, hovering above a miniskirt of garage doors. It contains transversal living rooms, spanning between the bridge entrances on the street side, and the gardens in the back. The living spaces sway between free transversal walls, generous and unitarian. The private level is organised like the section of a fruit. A layer of simply ordered bedrooms conceals a core of frivolous bathrooms and circulation spaces. In each house, a lone column, seemingly arbitrary, pins the two floors together, and dialogues with a roof opening providing daylight to the core. So despite their transversal configuration, the houses have pseudo-centers – a few vertical things, in unstable positions.
