Story

A decade-long exploration of a supermarket parking lot Sunday Morning 07 is a unique architectural project by Txema Salvans, unfolding over ten years in a supermarket parking lot near his home. The structure is described as a sealed entity, resembling a meteorite that has transformed its surroundings into a habitable space. Salvans, with a background in biology, employs a strategy of conspicuity as camouflage, allowing the building to blend seamlessly into its environment. This project is a testament to the interplay between natural patterns and architectural form, creating a narrative that unfolds through time and space.

Design Highlights

The building is described as a "still rock with buoys," suggesting a robust, anchored presence. Salvans' biological background influences the design, using conspicuity as a form of camouflage. The project spans a decade, capturing the essence of time and change in a static location.
