DOMa magazine seeks to investigate how architecture is created. Focusing on process rather than outcome, it presents portfolios on completed works curated by their respective architects.
The 1st issue of DOMa showcases archival material from the ‘Oe House’ by Fake Industries Architectural Agonism (Urtzi Grau and Cristina Goberna) and Aixopluc, the ‘Hunters Point Public Library’ by Steven Holl Architects, ’22 Dwellings Housing Block innBarcelona’ by MAIO, and the ‘House No. 10’ by MOS.
The magazine is published four times a year and can be found online at www.doma.archi
The OE House is a montage. The clients wanted a double house, so they could move from one half to the other, according to their state of mind. They did not like to spend their holidays traveling; they preferred to move downstairs, and do it for real, closing the quarters above. We provided them with two well-known domestic environments—the open frame of the case study houses for the hedonistic pleasure of the warm season, topped with the interiorized existentialism of Le Corbusier’s Maison Jaoul for the windy moths in la Sierra de Montsant. We did it literally. The resulting exquisite corpse—wrapped by the most Spanish architectural prop of all: the persiana—ensures the schizophrenic differentiation of modes of habitation as much as it negotiates the impossible encounter of both types.
Located on a rural town with an extreme climate changes, the OE hose is two houses in one: a summer house made of steel and polycarbonate on the ground floor and a wood and brick winter house on the first floor. Learning from anonymous neighbouring buildings we proposed a crossroad between a traditional Catalan rural home and a contemporary warehouse. We reclaimed the almost forgotten volta catalana and adapted industrialized components so that the house could be built in twelve months.
