we aim to value the importance of urban voids within our cities, taking them back from the oblivion and enabling the reflection by society of possible interventions in which depends the future of our cities.

# Construction

In the current project it has been chosen the grid as a mechanism of occupation and appropriation of a void in the city centre of Pamplona, creating an urban installation, a horizontal model of multiple spaces juxtaposed.
These empty spaces, apparently similar, are qualified by its light, humidity, temperature, vegetation and its various geometries but not by its function, creating a non-hierarchical structure, a catalog of spaces as a maze.
Thus it is the action of occupation and appropriation conducted by the urban subject which will give meaning to the architectural experience of these spaces.
In this project, the architecture is meant as a support for the life, for people who colonize and “squatter" these urban voids, establishing the necessary geometric and material conditions in order to qualified them.
