This project has been published on Quaderns #264 Anuari. With this issue we are recovering the old yearbook format that, firstly, enables us to compile and expand in a coherent manner the information featured in Observatory, a regular section in Quaderns in both its printed and digital formats, and secondly, reaffirms the desire to establish connections between the history of the magazine itself and a contemporary re-reading of it.

J. Mª Bosch Aymerich ‘Single House’

Ethel — Mon, 11 Jun 2012 07:22:57 +0000

BRAZIL CATALONIA. 1970

The building responds to the determinants imposed by the extraordinary slope field and the typical landscape of the Costa Brava. With these constraints, Bosch Aymerich wanted to do something organically and at the same time, characterized for its formal aspect.

In order to leave the most possible natural space for use as a spontaneous garden, the area in support of the construction, making a dent in the same slope, whose configuration remains virtually intact and reduced to a minimum.

F. X. Pouplana Solé ‘Experimental proposal for a way of living’

Ethel — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 13:24:37 +0000

At a trade fair —whose function is to confront the supply with the demand— any contribution far away from the commercialization can only function as a proof aimed to promoting new demands. A contribution of this kind must, therefore, be considered as an experiment designed purposely to cause a certain desire (a supposed need for expression) and measure their social value (extension of the possible demand).

From this approach, our proposal —subsidized by the organizing c ofommittee Hogarotel 10— was intended as an instrument itself only of causing the release of the ludicrous desires, which we thought is one of the most repressed issues by current domestic equipment —more ‘ representative’ that suited to everyday use—. And, consequently, it was developed by an unusual atmosphere, but with certain significant references which incited to lead a ludicrous behavior but without suggesting any established social patterns of behaviour.

F. Ayguavives G. and X. Gomá Presas ‘A Clockwork Orange’

Ethel — Tue, 13 Mar 2012 20:33:55 +0000

The project was focused on building a kiosk for selling oranges along the road, in the vicinity of the Junquera. It should be quickly visible, understandable and palatable. It was meant to be a “Building-Advertising-Stop” which produced the effect of a big orange anchored in the lurch, feeding and spawning perpetually citrus products through a complicated umbilical cord to then pass them to a rare mechanical incubator, where lunatic children will be annihilated and duly empowered those who have made worthy of life, which means to be placed on the sales porch, where the conspicuous tourist, without realizing that has been hunted by the organic hook is waiting to devour them as the last micro-orgasm of a “holiday in Spain”.

Campana-Campanae by Lluís Clotet and Studio PER

Ethel — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 12:31:59 +0000

From Federico Correa and Alfonso Milá, the architects of Studio PER have learned the concern by hygienic problems in the kitchens, specifically those derived from the condensation of steam on walls, objects and people… that is why this proposal was based on designing a kitchen extractor that was as an independent object, not linked to any number of cabinets or kitchen furniture and accessible from any point, independent of the plant distribution.

Quaderns (Journal-Observatory 2010-2011)

Ethel — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 08:25:48 +0000

We are working on the next issue of Quaderns (Journal-Observatory 2010-2011), eager to recover the spirit of the yearbooks of the decades of 1960 and 1970, which are a great inspiration. We will be revisiting material from those years.

We start this time with this project, yet published when it was still under construction, by F. Higueras and A. Miró.
