AHI Architectural Heritage Intervention

“Contributing to enhancing our heritage, as the way forward for 21 st Century architecture is our raison d’être; to emphasize a diverse, rich vision that necessarily complements the intervention is our mission, and achieving it with reflexive and purposeful efforts is the challenge”.

This project, founded in, and directed since, 2011 by Ramon Calonge, Oriol Cusidó, Marc Manzano and Jordi Portal, architects and members of the Group of Architects for the Defence and Intervention in Architectural Heritage (AADIPA), has, through the years become a platform that includes four actions that are both independent and transversal.
 
The European Award, a biennial event that brings together and showcases the multiple approaches of intervention in Europe.

The International Biennial, a framework that serves to compare and gain closer insight of quality interventions in architectural heritage in non-European countries.

The digital Archive, a live and open window that provides a panoramic view of interventions in the history of our surroundings.

The Forum, a meeting place where you can participate in on-going debates about the main preoccupations and lines of thought about interventions in architectural heritage in Europe.

LR3 Pavilion

LR3 Pavilion

The proposal for ephemeral architecture highlights the contrast between the ornamental and heavy construction of the historic heritage and the lightness of the technological environment created inside it. To achieve this, a lightweight self-supporting structure has been installed that respects the original shell without coming into contact with it, generating an interstitial space that makes evident the separation of the two constructional worlds while providing the access for the installations. This autonomous structure is made up of three different environments and has been lined on the inside with white fabric tarpaulins stretched with a system of modular canvases. This proposal for the presentation of the new LR3 collection replaces the traditional fashion show with an immersive experience in which the spectator is also the protagonist, achieving that all kinds of bodies, sizes, identities and aesthetics parade down the runway of this pavilion.
