Thinking about Architecture from the Inside
The Collective Interiors of Lacaton & Vassal
- Abstract
- Lacaton & Vassal do not do much, it seems, to design their interiors. They do, however, reach a quality in the public, shared spaces, which are easily appropriated by the users of their buildings. Inside their executed designs the direct exposure to the envelope causes behaviours that question or treat the programme differently.
Fredie Floré describes Lacaton & Vassal’s interiors and the paractice’s emphasis on sociocultural interactions, which the architects aim to stimulate under the roofs, between the walls and on the floors they design. Precisely through their attention towards these basic elements of architecture, the architects reach a modest generosity in their projects. Floré argues that the appropriation of the interiors realised by Lacaton & Vassal involves the experience depending on the presence of the ‘other’, whether people or objects.
