Aragonia Complex

Aragonia’s architecture reflects the project’s diversity – apartments, offices, a hotel, a shopping centre, cinemas, parking facilities, etcetera – by opting to distinguish the different uses through volumetric variations where the use of a singular material, glazed ceramics, would provide a sense of continuity.

The dimensional scheme on which all the buildings are based originated in the parking facility, the 8.40 x 8.40-metre module of which can therefore be considered to form the underlying structural principle shared by the entire complex. But while the car park and services act as Aragonia’s conceptual foundations, they do not determine its image, which accentuates diversity and freedom. The pedestrian subways that run beneath the built masses give rise to the connection and link of the two leafy parks between which the complex is located.

The intention behind the architecture is to create a social hub from an area that lacked public spaces while preventing the scale of the intervention from being overpowering and imperious. The difficulty of this task is evident to anyone who studies its floor plans and cross-sections.
