Known as the Goicoechea-Isusi Foundation Mansion. It is a late 19th-century Neo-Mudéjar building that was used as a nursing home and then abandoned in the 1990s.
Due to its history, location, and condition, General Ricardos 159 has become a symbol of what many residents consider a missed opportunity for the district. Even so, it remains a place of great urban and cultural interest in the heart of Carabanchel.
1. Guiding principles (light, permeability, and geometry)
Light organizes space and guide artist's experience, permeability, continuity, and connection between areas allowing fluid passage without loss of identity. Geometry as a language that ensures unity and coherence in the three-dimensional plane. framework where the building is conceived as a coherent and orderly organism.
2. Architecture and structural organicism
The architectural and structural elements are designed specifically for GOI.SPACE. internship functionality internship symbolism that reflects the guiding principles. The building as a body that contains and articulates different areas of work. Each piece functions autonomously while reflecting the overall order.
The project structured around two backbones that organize and connect the different spaces. These backbones function as logistics corridors, allowing for the efficient transport of materials and works of art.
The units are modular and can be attached or separated, allowing for flexibility and growth of the assembly.
The connectivity between homes and galleries is achieved through double sliding doors, creating continuous exhibition routes.
The homes are designed as hybrid spaces, with leave floor leave as a workshop and art gallery, and the first floor reserved for bedrooms. The enclosure system allows for three configurations: Closed subject , open to the view as an exhibitionsubject , or semi-open depending on the Degree permeability to the customer-viewer. The spaces adapt to the relationship with the public, varying between domestic intimacy and artistic exhibition as needed.
The theater opens up and connects to the rear courtyard garden, allowing for spatial permeability and creating different possibilities for scenic depth for performances and shows.
The sides of each spine are configured with individualized niches for users' work . The upper floor incorporates storage areas for works and packaging.
The backbones integrate logistics, circulation, and production, strengthening the relationship between living, producing, and exhibiting.
3. Spatial dynamics
The homes are designed as hybrid spaces, with leave floor leave as a workshop and art gallery, and the first floor reserved for bedrooms.
The enclosure system allows for three configurations: Closed subject , open to the view as a display, or semi-open depending on the Degree permeability to the customer-viewer.
The spaces adapt to the relationship with the public, varying between domestic intimacy and artistic exhibition as needed.
Connected spaces: workshops, creative rooms, transit and storage areas. mobility that facilitates the movement of materials and people. Real management adapted to the needs of the creative process. Response of the space as an extension of work .
4. Senses of the environment
The artist can interact with the report local artificial intelligence report will become familiar with the entire building. They can keep track of the artist's presence and context in different areas of the building while they work in other places.
5. Intelligent core
SYNAPTIC GOI.AI as the operating brain that centralizes and processes information. report that stores data and Username data , ensuring continuity. Local interaction via conversational or touch interface, without relying on the internet. Connectivity between all scales to form a network and coherent network .
GOI.SPACE is conceived as a multiscale system that articulates everything from the broadest dimensions of the idea to the most specific details of its operation. It is based on three principles: light, permeability, and geometry. Light is understood as resource order and control, permeability as the capacity for interconnection between spaces, and geometry as the axis that organizes and unifies the whole in the three-dimensional plane.
From this global scale, the project to the structural level, where it is materialized through architectural elements, support pieces, and auxiliary modules designed specifically for its operation. Each of these functions as an autonomous unit and, at the same time, as part of a larger organism, reflecting the logic of the system at its own level.
On its smallest scale, GOI.AI operates as a control and monitoring hub. It receives and processes data sensors distributed throughout the building, maintains a report , and allows the Username to Username through a conversational interface. In this way, the conceptual, structural, and digital are integrated into a network , where each part participates and reflects the functioning of the whole.
