The COAC and CentreObert collaborate, through the Garrotxa-Ripollès Delegation, in the organization of the project RCR BUNKA. OPEN PROGRAM, which accompanies the RCR Summer Workshop, the international workshop organized every summer by RCR Arquitectes and RCR BUNKA Private Foundation.
The Universe of Shared Creativity
This year the program will revolve around the theme “SHARING” and will consist of a series of four lectures by Bleda y Rosa, who will reveal the existing link between image, place, and memory that they have jointly explored, and by Carles Oliver Barceló, LaCol cooperative architecture, and Lacaton Vassal, who will talk to us about collaborative architecture.
As in previous editions, the lectures will be accompanied by a selection of video creations that, under the title “FOREST MATTER,” celebrate the poetic strength of trees.
As part of this series, on July 4th at 7 PM, the lecture “The Collective Research of a New Productive Model” by Carles Oliver Barceló will take place. This lecture is supported by the hna Foundation and is a beneficiary of the CONECTA by hna program.
According to the ONU, the policies currently implemented do not lead to halting climate change and its derived effects, such as extreme heat waves, drought, or rising sea levels. Reversing this situation requires a change in production and consumption models in all areas. And this effort will necessarily have to be collective.
In the field of architecture, in the Balearic Islands, a series of examples have been developed that configure a possible productive model that takes into account and reduces the externalities it generates. The sum of these proposals constitutes a language that is not based on a question of style or form, but on the incorporation of environmental and social priorities, where the recovery of cultural heritage becomes a tool both to fulfill decarbonization objectives and to recover the notion of the city as a sum of anonymous and silent interventions, where self-sufficiency in construction processes blurs the line between the productive space of the town and the productive space outside the town.
Carles Biel Oliver Barceló (Felanitx, Balearic Islands, 1979) is an architect from the Technical School of Architecture of Barcelona (ETSAB - UPC) and a master builder by professional necessity. During his studies, he received scholarships to study at UC Los Angeles, TU Delft, and the Technical School of Architecture of Madrid (ETSAM - UPM). From 2007 to 2009, he shared a studio with Francisco Cifuentes, from whom he learned to design from a construction perspective. Since 2009, he has been a member of the Balearic Institute of Housing (IBAVI), where he directed the climate change adaptation project 'Life Reusing Posidonia' in Formentera, which received the LIFE 2021 award for the best environmental project from the European Commission. From 2019 to 2023, he was head of the Technical Department of IBAVI. He has co-authored other pilot housing projects such as the 5, 8, and 19 public protection homes (HPP) in Palma, or 6 HPP in Santa Eugènia, the UAC2 eco-neighborhood, and rehabilitation works such as Sant Miquel 19, or Can Lliro. The projects developed both at the individual level and as part of the IBAVI team have received various awards that have contributed to his credibility in proposing new projects. His work has been widely published and exhibited.
