Caffe del Popolo / Rare Studio Experimental

Prosthesis. Caffe del Popolo is one of those experiments that arise in spaces that are often understood as unusable or obsolete in the city. The project was carried out in a triangular void between two blocks of apartments in the Nueva Córdoba neighborhood. A perception of compression by its context triggered the initial exploration for the design of this enclosure, which from the beginning was conceived as an object capable of fitting into the void, as an "urban prosthesis". The project proposes a way to enter a dense urban environment and to generate action from it towards the city.
