Text from the architects:
Ambient 30_60 generates a defined but translucent space built out of thirty different spatial frames containing artworks, vegetation, water games, irrigation, and events through a curated and progressive process.
The historical relation of YAP (Young Architects Program) as a complement to cultural institutions (PS1, MAXXI, Istanbul Modern) and the fact that last year Santiago´s YAP context was changed, from a cultural center to a public park (Parque Araucano), allowed us to rethink the possibilities of the project’s brief. In this new context, the project has the explicit aim to become itself an opportunity to insert an unexisting cultural program in the park, starting from its own eventual and temporary conditions, complementing and reflecting the YAP´s character as a cultural agent, while creating a climatic and programmatically conditioned space open to a broader audience. |
